(Received this day at 8 a.m.) SHANGHAI, December 4. Yenhsishan Shansi an ex-War Lord arrived at Tientsin in the Japanese concession, en route to Japan, definitely ending the reeeut warfare. GOVERNOR-GENERAL. NEW YORK, Dec. 4. The New York “Times” in a leader on “Health of Native Born.” states the appointment of Sir I. Isaacs marks the final stage of an old dispute. It (s hard to, believe the report that Mr MacDonald’s Government remonstrated witli Mr Scullin and wanted to continue with the imported Governor-' Generals. .It was not that Government’s business. The main argument for . an imported iGovernor-General has been that he is apart- from local politics. Whatever that argument is worth, ft cannot apply to Sir I. Isaac. If the Australians are satisfied, whq has ariy- reason to eoihplain. % triaL and error Australia, will get or not get- what she wants. Probably the, .next step of these .. rude antipodeans will be the substitution of domestic for imported Governors of their several States.” MOVE AGAINST POLAND. LONDON, Dec. 4. The “Times” Berlin correspondent reports an ominous incident in view of the Nationalist “Nazi” agitation for the revision of the German Polish frontier. News from Breslan states that the police there have rounded up 350 armed, uniformed “Nazis” at the manor house of Von Duf.ren who was a prominent supporter of the Rapp “Patsch.” Both arms and ammunition were seized, and Dulfren was arrested. This .mobilisation of “Nazi” storm troops so near to the border is interpreted a-s meaning , that raids are intended.
