The Cantonese armies have been steadily sweeping northward unti they threaten to overrun all China with a possibility that they will take over the Government in the near future. This arouses the interest of everyone in the party that has been able to achieve such signal successes. The Canton Government represents the Kuomintang Tarty, which Is thelargest, and certainly the most active, political party in China. It was founded by the late Sun Vat-sen and has passed through several phases since the overthrow of the Manchu dynasty fifteen years ago. In the early days of the Republic it professed the most advanced democratic and constitutional principles that were then current in the world. It failed politically with the failure of Parliamentary government in Peking; it suffered severe reverses in the north, but was able, with a few interruptions, to retain power in Canton throughout the period of civil war. At the same time its influence has made itself continually felt in the movement of modern Ideas In China, in educational work and in various 'manifestations of the nationalist spirit. Of late the party has recovered strength, mainly as its supporters frankly admit owing to its alliance with Soviet Russia. IS ORGANIZED ON SOVIET SYSTEM. The methods of military and political organization through which the Cantonese have won their victories were taught them by Moscow. The system of training young officers and of attaching political instructors to the commanders of military units is modelled on the system that prevails in the Red Army. The art of mass propaganda, through leaflets, illustrated posters, and the constant repetition of inflammatory catchwords, has been developed on Bolshevist lines. The weapons of the strike, of the boycott, and of rioting have bten used with a deliberation and a persistent purpose that have not hitherto been observed. in China. On the other hand. party discipline has been strengthened, and, according to the general report, the discipline of the Kuomintang armies contrasts fa vorably with that of the arjnies of the various war lords, In a word. the aid given to the Kuomintang by Moscow not so much through the supply of munitions as through the dispatch of agents and ad visers, and the training of Chinese in revolutionary technique counts for a great deal in the new. strength which that party is IS NOT AT PRESENT COMMUNIST MOVEMENT. This, of course, does not mean that the Kuomintang is a Communist Party, or that, if it does defeat all its enemies, China will be transformed into a Communist State. That at present is not the intention or even the hope of the Moscow Bolshevists. The principle laid down by Lenin for Soviet propaganda among the peoples of Asia was that no attempt should be made to convert them immediately to Communism, but that their national discontents should be fomented and their national movements stimulated and organized with a view to a systematic attack on what he called "the capitalistic and imperialistic Powers." This procedure has been closely follow ed by the Bolshevists in all the ramifications of their work in China. Their influence is plainjy seen in the Hong-kong boycott and in the organization or that anti-British movement throughout China which has alreadV caused such pnnrmnna lnnasa tn rtritfoVi TV PROSPECT OF GREATER SUCCESS IN FUTURE. The fact, then, has to be faced that the division and the disorders of the Chinese civil wars have led to a very considerable success with a prospect of yet greater success for one party, and that .the party which is responsible for the most violent manifestations of national feeling, which is committed to the denunciation of the treaties, which has learned its revolutionary lessons from Moscow and has been virulent in Its attacks on British interests. Jt is too soon to say that this party, or any other, will reunite China. It Is "I was greatly Distressed With Pains in the Back" Mr. Alfred McNeill, Chapel Rock, Alta., writes t 4 .

"For 21 years he devoted his splendid abUtty and high integrity in pubUc life to lay deep the foundations of sound democratic government, and It is fitting that on the occasion of his retiremen. from public life that true recognition uhould be given to him for service oapably rendered to the people of this province. "Mr. Bowser entered the Legislature In 1933 and was appointed attorney-jcceral In 1908. when Sir Richard Me-Bride was premier. From 1906 to 1915, besides his duties of attorney-general, he served this province as minister of finance, minister of lands, and gave his service to other departments for long periods. "In 1913 he bcame Premier of British Columbia lud was opposition leader in 1818. To all clear-thlnklng men and women who are above prejudice and who admire a sturdy courage and steadfastness In facing adverse criticisms, W. J. Bowser is entitled to the highest respect. "To his high qualities of statesmanship lie displayed during his public lit a steadfast adherence to the highest principles of government and continuously placed the people's Interests before all other considerations. "His loyalty to the party he has so faithfully served was exemplified In no uncertain manner when at this conven- rancement for the good of that party. "In valuations of citizenship one such man Is worth ten other men of sordid motive and of selfish spirit. Steadfastness In his beliefs when he believed them to be right, courage to perform his public duty in the fact of opposition, fidelity In safeguarding the people's Interest, have been characteristic of his public acts. "When the years roll on and the triumph and defeats of political parties are forgotten the last public act of Mr. Bowser will make history, and will serve to stimulate others to follow his example whenever and wherever the best Interests' of the people demand it. "Victory U not always essential to glory, otherwise the heroism at Thermopylae would not have been the pride of Greece for all generation. "W. J. Dowser has always marched forward with clear aim and purpose, and we may honestly say that his motto was; 'Never to look behind me for an hour. To wait In weakness and to walk In power. But always fronting onwards to the right, always and always facing towards the light.'" In The Letter Box ritfiUS MH'.lL I'EOI'IX I.OCATK HKKK.Vt KO.UI UOCTE Editor, Dally News.

Direct dealing, in fact, has already hud : some success, both at Canton and on the Yangtze. I Evidently the farce of making diplomatic protests to a power ; less nominal government against the constant infringement of treat-: iea by war-lords, revolutionaries, and uncontrollable bandits cannot go on much longer. Great care is needed, however, before deciding on an alternative. If the Canton Government should succeed in establishing itself .as the National Government of China the Powers villrof c6urse, have no choice but to deal with it as such. i FRIENDLY ATTITUDE IS NEEDED TODAY. It is probable that the more moderate elements do not like the strong Bolshevist influence to which the party owes so much of its present success, and that they hope,- when the. battle is won, to be able to free themselves from it and to modify that extreme hos tility to other powers, ana particularly to Great Britain, which has been the dominant note in the party's popular agitation. It may be that," with the extension of responsibility, the healthier kind of Chinese national sentiment will prevail in the Kuomintang councils and that Chinese subtlety will be a match for Bolshevist intrigue. But no one can yet say that this will be so, and the penetration of the Kuomintank organization by Moscow methods gives the Bolshevists a strong hold a,nd endless opportunities for rnlschief. A friendly attitude to the Chinese people and to genuinely constructive Chinese nationalism, coupled with the protection of all legitimate British interests, is the principle which the new British Minister has gone out to pursue, and will certainly pursue with skill and energy. This policy can be applied with the flexibility necessitated by a changing situation. But it is far too early to assume that to hail the Ku omintang as victors would be the short way out of endless troubles in China, 1. i.ii!t,on he tet 1Jlide W personal ad- .t f iha a..c. f l, tr i -i:L. u own.; In a speech at the recent Communist Party conference - in Moscow Bukharin said: "The fact of the Chinese revolution and the victorious march of the united forces Is of the greatest importance.

Brady, it P. for Skeena, and carried at the convention in Kamloops last week The resolution, an artistic word picture' in Mr. Brady's able style, was as fol lows : "That this convention of the Liberal- Conservative party of British Columbia, assembled at Kamloops, November 23. 34 and 23, 1926. tender to W. J. Bowser a .fitting public acknowledgment for the vinclal government will have the mat .er brought to their attention and per. chance, later on a cabinet meetlug .nay be held and next year, perhaps a aerial survey msy be undertaken. r provincial surveyors may be asked A take a hand In this much needed rjvtnctal Highway necessity. But we lave no guarantee at the present noment that the government have aiij nactlcal sympathy with our needs In -his respect, by the fact of the thret ear provincial road construction pro-(ram announced by the powers that e. Tbeiefore the views of one of the Udermen expressed at the meeting, tor fcs effect that what was wanted was eal road building, for three year there has been more or less flddlln. round without getting anywhere, and 'Jje solution to my way of thinking Is to take the business In our own hands and try If possible to locate a possible route ourselves from Prince Rupert to .'enace. If such a -route was obtained, aid practical and could be built at a reasonable amount, and brought to the Attention of the Provincial government for them to verify. I firmly believe that the presentation Of said plans I of route woutd convince the ministers that the people of the Skeena districts were sincere In their demands and not afraid of spending money of their own to Justify their "iope and convictions. Therefore Mr. Editor. I suggest tbst subscription be asked for and take', frcm all who are Interested, with perhaps a poMible grant from the city council, and other public bodies and a couple of reliable men engaged, suit able for the work required to undertake a rough survey of this proposed highway, with a suitable remuneration for their service. Needless to state if funds are available, to nuie a success of this suggestion, they would. I am sure, receive all kinds of help and suggestions of practical routs by hunters and trappers and settlers all along the route, that would be of great assistance and help to bring this burning question to a successful conclusion.
