Cantonese Protest at Ban Overseas Chinese and Hongkong

Chinese are being notified of the restrictions now put on Canton foreign trade by the Kuomintang Reds, and a number of requests have'been made to the Canton Kuomintang authorities to abolish this restriction. Among the bodies protesting are the Canton Guild of Shanghai and the Tung Wah Hospital of Hongkong.

Private reports from a reliable Chinese source in Swatow indicate that that port, like Canton, is suffering from a shortage of cent non-arrival of British nese vessels carrying that commodity. The electric light works may have to close down shortly owing to lack of fuel.
