"A nation keeps soldiers to protect herself and not to employ them to make internal strife within her territories. Kuangtung and Kuangsi belong to one country and have always been on good terms.

It is, therefore, deplorable that Kuangtung has, without sufficient cause, established the Military Government, which, on the plea ion prohibited without permission.
