It is stated that the people would welcome the return of the Koominchun army. The explanation is simple. The Kuominchun forces being well supplied with funds and equipment from Moscow have no need to raise money from the inhabitants of the districts through which they pass. It seems a little hard on the Western Powers, however, if it is to be recognised as a virtue in an army that it is supported by Russian funds, while the Western Powers themselves are for... · bidden by their code to assist W PEI FU. But one of the peculiarities of modern times is that Russia, whose population is notoriously the most ill fed and ill clothed in Europe, is ever ready to dnance schemes in foreign countries in order to foment trouble.
