Peking, March. 8.
When Marshal Chiang Kai- shek arrives in Peking he is not at all assured of a public expres- sion of approval.
.Peking is critical of Tang Yu-lin "al Chang Teo-stang. but it also blames Nanking for its niggardly assistance in the defence of Jehol.
A.common attitude is reflected in the local vernacular newspapers to-day which have seized upon Mr. T. V. Soong's references to the las of Jehol and the "rabble of troops." to make cauatie comment.
WARM. COMMENT.
The deluge of interviews on the, situation by prominent Kuomintangi Party, and Government leaders is aino the subject of a warm rejoin-, der.
The newspapers remind "most of those who are crying for the blood of Tung Yu-lin that they arg directly responsible for the con
They duct of national affairs. cannot indulge in criticism as third and disinterested parties."
It has been common knowledge, the newspapers add, that Tang Yu- lin could not be trusted to defend
Jehol, that he would cut and run at the first sign of danger, and this was known to the Nanking Govern- ment which refused to speak out and face the facts,
NOTHING DONE. The Ta Kung Pad declares that the Government has had a whole year in which to prepare for ade- quate defence and that if they had been prepared Jehol would not have been lost in the short time predicted by Mr. T. V. Scong.--Reider.
