May I be permitted to supple- ment your own Correspondent's comments, cabled recently from Shanghai, on the lack of organiza- tion and coordination in China's armed forces, by drawing atten- tion to a major factor of the Chinese situation which, because of Nanking's rigorous censorship. is very rarely mentioned?
I refer to the fact that, despite. the frequent "assurances given by China's propagandists of the coun- try's increased political unity and military emciency, the armed for- ces controlled by Chiang Kai-shek, as head of the Nanking Govern- ment are a personal and not a na- tional army.
