every standpoint Northern Expedition was the most sinister move in Kuomintang his- tory. It gave the Communists an opportunity to regain their hold on the Kuomintang. 1 made the Nationalist Government a Moscow tool. For as the Government be- came more involved in the fright- ful expensiveness of the war, the more they required Moscow's as- sistance. And as Moscow gained in strength, they drove from the Government every person associat- ed with Dr. Sun Yat-sen, except his immedjate family.
The success of the war was an inevitability from the commence- ment. For at the ontest, the North was so hopelessly inert and divíð- ed that no resistance was shown in Hunan. Marshal Sun Chuan-fang, who well deserves his subsequent defeat by treachery, played a childish game of attempting to out- wit Canton into defeating Marshall Wu Pei-fu so that he might become his former chief's successor. Against such trickery, the Bussinn- led forces of General Chiang Kai- shek showed
a powerful, united front.
The loneliest man at that moment was undoubtedly General Chiang Kai-shek.. As his armies. won victory after victory, he realized that his influence was waning When his armies conquered Hupeh. he dis- covered that the Communists had raised a Tang Seng-che to divide with him the glories of suc- Cess. When he sought to establish a Government in Hupeb, he found that his choice for the administra- tor, Teng Jun-dah, was serving his Enemy, the Communists.. When he rode from Nanchang to Kiukiang. he saw everywhere banners to the "Revolutionary Tutor," while he was ignored, he the conqueroring hero. No yellow sand was strewn in his path No peans of victory) were sung to him. Berodin, the conqueror, was the man of the hour. That moment marks the split and the defeat of Nationalism.
The removal of the Govern- ment to Wuhan, the destruc- tion of commerce, the con- tinuation of the struggle with Great Britain, the pursuance of a childish foreign policy of win- | ning victories by plausible propa- ganda, the stoppage of any netivi- ties beneficial to the Chinese people, the shambling of Hunan and Hupch, the destruction of the fiscal system of Hunan, Hupch, and Kiangsi-these were the accom- plishments of the Communist Gov- ernment of Wu-han, and for these the Kuomintang must assume res- ponsibility because they dared not tell the truth; they dared not admit their defeat by the Communists.

And now the Kuomintang are faced with frightful facts and heartbreaking failures.
