"You are going to attend the pre- liminary session of the Conference then?" our representative asked, and Mr. Wang replied: "Yes, but we are going up to Shanghal to have a meeting with Marshal Chiang Kai-shek. You know that recently Marshal Chiang had misunderstand- ings cleared up with me. I think you know also that Mr. Soong carae- down to Canton' recently for this, and I think you have also read the telegrams that have been exchanged between me and Marshal Chiang. Well, between me and Chiang, we have forgiven each other and had our"misunderstandings cleared up. Therefore I think I, and General Li, will have a very satisfactory meet-" ing with him."
"Is your meeting with Marshal Chiang and your conference with the Nanking commissioners going to be one thing, or two different things, to be carried out merely in the same trip?" asked our represen tatives.
Mr. Wang replied "You can call this one thing, for you see, I and General Li, are going up with an aim to patch up differences in our party, and to bring all our Central Commissioners to a Conference, which will include Marshal Chiang and the Nanking Commissioners." This concluded the interview,
Mr. Wang and General Li, nc- companied by Mr. Chan Yui-tso and several secretarica, left by the Em- press of Asia for Shanghai at six o'clock.
