We live to learnl." which foreign impérialism will have to reckon. To-day the position is different. Nobody fears or respects the Kuomintang any longer. The new political system which the Nanking and Wuhan militarists are trying to build ander the flag of the Kuomintang will be a kind of superTuchunate, no different in essentials from the Peking model.
"True followers of Sun Yat Sen," must Mr. Eugene Chen added, rally to his widow, Sung Teing Ling (who is also in Moscow), and must hight resolutely against the true Kuomintang being reduced to the level of the secretariat of a neo-"scuppered" by fanatical mobs of Tuchunate.'"
The Lost Leader. Recalling that only last February Mt MacDonald was saying that an hour's friendly conversation with Mr. Chen was worth an army corps in removing risk to men and women," and that if we had nego tiated with Mr. Chen in regard to the position in Shanghai" he would have been willing to come to an agreement that nothing would bap pen until an opportunity was given for negotiating the whole queation before us," The Times says: To
Backed by Soviet advisers, the Chinese tried to treat the French and Japanese and their Hankow
Concessions in the samo manner as
they treated ours. But these nation- alities showed fight and held their ground with their naval forces, and to this day are in full possession of their Hankow rights according to their treaties with the Chinese,
All foreigners were greatly re- lieved and thankful that the British Governtuent did have the foresight to send promptly adequate and first- class troops for, the protection of Shanghai They only arrived in the nick of time during the dark and dangerous days of March and April. Many do not know even now what
close shave we all ran then of being
Chinese soldiers as well as civilians, I had been through the stirring times of the, Boxer trouble, but I have never experienced such tension and anxiety as existed at Shanghai this spring, The Japanese, with their troops along the Shantung Railway from Tsingtau to Tainan, have now blocked any further Southern advance to Peking in that direction... If the British and the Japanese would now take stronger action they would win the day.
