LONDON TIMES
FLAYS LEADER
OF SOUTH CHINA
CANTON, Dec. 29—A considerable surprise bas been caused in
Canto-n by a News Representative of Sun Yat Sen being received by the
Governor of Hong Kong and being given an opportunity to present Sun
Yat Sen's version of the Customs surplus case. What was said has not
yet been transmitted, but it will probably be included in the substance
of the message sent by Sun Yat Sen to Ramsay McDonald, in which the
complaint was made that the British Minister to China, and the Inspector
General of Customs were responsible for the International Naval demon
stration at Canton, thereby leading to a situation which was detrimental
to foreign interests in general, and the British in particular. The Lon
don Times, in an article, said in part: "It is new to hear that the above
named excellent officers who are devoted to their duties in their res
pective spheres have the power to order hither and thither the navies of
Japan, the United States, France and Italy, and it also surprises foreign
diplomats that the British representatives, outside of China, should have
relations with a Chinese leader against whom it has been decided to take
international action, in which Britain was taking part. If Sun Yat Sen
was at the head of a government which was representative of southern
China interests, or even of interests of one important province, something
might be said for his claim to a share of the customs surplus, but he con
trols only a rebel fraction of the province, who In the majority consider
Sun Yat Son as dangerous to the province, and one of the principal ob
stacles to the restoration and unity of the country. His rule has been
marked by tyranny and extortion and he is reported to have lost the sym
pathy and support of all elements in South China except the Extremists.
He has lost, in particular, the Labor Party’s support, bv the institution o?
a “Press Gang,” by means of which coolies have been forced to serve as
carriers for the Army. To permit Sun Yat Ren to break up the customs
administration, in order to obtain funds for the Yunnanese troops, upon
whom his position depends, would be criminal, and as the Chinese Gov
ernment's interest in the matter is pra(rtlcal!y helpless, the foreigner has
no alternative but to Intervene, more in China’s Interests than In their

'Member th' good ol’ days, just
after you had Joined the honorable

once in a while, you would hear the
rail of "the gang." and you would I
coax and beg until successful in get
ting the wife to join you in cabaret-1
ing and serin’ the sights again, and :
together, you and the only woman j
would meander down to the cabarets *
and spend an evenin' tryin* to keep f
some of the former acquaintances of
the cabaret from getting too famil
iar with you. said acquaintances not
realizing that the lady with you was
the director of your destiny, and

one feels that the evening should be
wound up by goin’ to Coffee Dan’s,
then just drop into Cavey's where
better coffee is served, minus the

There is said to be some very high
Hass entertainment scheduled for j
the evening. Just who the enter-)
tainers will be. is not known, but it
is whispered around that there will
be some dancers to entertain the
many tables, that will make the "o’d

My love for you, your Jove for me.
No cold can chill the amorous flame.
No poets pen can e’re declaim
Thy magic charms for me.

Such love for you. such love for me.
It amplifies in lonely hours.
It needs no went of shaded bows
Or perfume from the opening flowere
To awaken charms in thee. ***
I see thee now i-n this strange spell,
T wish I could with accents tel!
The vision that 1 see.
There never was then nor can by ,
Such love for you. such love for me.
Mirage, delusive, something thou!
Why did you come to me?
Oh! don’t depart, and leave me now
My heart still cli-ngs to thee.
My lady Nicotine is gone.

Without a dream there ne’re could
Such love for you, such love for me.
