Command-in-Chief of the Cantonese Army on May 20 and Mr. Hu Han-min, a senior member of the Kuomingtang and a former Civil Governor of Kuangtung, became Chief Counsellor of the General Headquarters. These appointments practically delegate Southern chief, Dr.

Hsu has instructed all district magistrates within his sphere of influence henceforth to remit funds nowhere but to hic headquarters, He has also announced that other commands may station troops within his territory.
