Canton Official Approves

Canton, Feb. 2.

Enthusiastic approval of Marshal Wu Pei-fu's alleged resumption of active political life was voiced by Mr. Peng Tung-yuan, Chairman of the Canton Peace Maintenance Commission here yesterday.

"Marshal Wu's emergence from a life of retirement to serve China will shed a bright light upon the restoration of peace and will lead to the rejuvenation of the race," Mr. Peng said.

"I know him personally for a long time through correspondence. He has always been a man of excellent administrative ability, well-versed in literature, and a man of brilliant military valour," Mr. Peng concluded.—Domei.
