l'ear l'elt Tliat New Political or
Military Coup Is Coming
in Canton Keg-ion.
WASHINGTON. April 1. Increasing
domination of the militaristic faction
in southern China has been noted here
and officials are frankly worried over
the outcome. The north China fac
tion has demobilized a portion of its
army, made possible by the advance
of several million yen by Japan, which
is regarded as significant in connec
tion with the continued increase in
strength of the military faction in
the southern part of the republic.
The sudden departure from Canton
of Wu Tins' Kanff, former Chinese
minister to the United States and one
of the most prominent leaders in the
anti-militaristic faction in south
China, has been reported to the state
department. Wu and his son,' closely
identified with his father in political
affairs, were said to have become dis
custed with the growing strength in
south China of the military party and
were said to have taken with them
from Canton nearly 75U.000 taels of
the customs surplus, which, experts
hero said, would be enough to finance
another revolution against the gov
ernment. The whereabouts of Wu and his son
is not known.
Tang Shao Yi, who has been one of
the warmest and most influential sup
porters of Wu in his. efforts to pre
serve peace between north and south
China and especially to curb the mili
taristic elements in the Canton
region, is also reported to have left
Canton and officials here fear a new
political or military coup many be in
prospect.
