Marshal Chi Hsieh-yuan, former Tuchun of Kiangau, who has assum ed a similar post for the provinces north of the Yangtse, expressed himself in a confident vein regarding the outcome of the present struggle In a Press Interview on Tuesday.

Marshal Chi further said that it was his original intention to devote the rest of his life to the Improve ment of his knowledge but as he had been connected with the south- eastern provinces for many years, he could not close his eyes to the sufferings of the people under the Chfang regime and therefore decided to enter public ilfe again in order to
