SUN YAT-SEN
*EXPOSED.
Secret Documents Discovered in Canton.
Proposed Triple Bolshevik Alliance.
Admiral Von Hintze to Come to China
!" Te1egraph Special).
It has long site been charged against D. Sun Yat- sen that he has embraced Bolshevisi doctrines Up till now there has been lack of concrete proof, but to-day we are enabled to publish what we know to be irrefutable
“evidence that Sun has been conspiring to bring about an lliance between China. Germany and Russia. based on
Bolshevist ideals. Let us tell the story Rest in brief
On July 24th. the French newspaper. 1. Avvale de published at Hanoi, contained the following
paragraph :-
Le Gouvernment de Chen-Chiung Ming
devoile des documents originans etallissant le projet d'une entente Sino-Russe Allen.ande ela- here par Sun Yat Sen et le Ministre d'Alienavne
Aaron MI" You Thind. ex-Muisc afte
On having car notice called to the above, and realising
ts importance. we began to make our own enquiries, with the result that the story has been verified beyond all
uestion.
When Sun Yat-sen and his officials fed from their homes on the night of Gen. Yip Kue's coup in Canton. the Vice-Minister of Finance left behind a safe. In that safe were discovered certain letters, one being in sun's own handwriting. proving that negotiations were then being carried on to bring about the alliance already referred to. Photographic copies of those letters have been secured by us, and we have taken every step to ensure that they are genuine before giving publicity,
From the translations, which are given below. it is revealed that the leading spirits in this movement are Dr. Sun Yat-sen and Admiral Von Hintze. the present German Minister to Moscow and who was formerly German Ambassador to Peking. It is shown that Sun, working through, the medium of a paid Chinese emissary in Berlin named Chu Wo-long, has managed to secure the co-oper- ation of Admiral Von Hintze, who, in turn, is planning to be sent secretly to China by the German Government. The correspondence shows that it had been arranged for Admiral Von Hintze (travelling under an assumed name to be met on arrival at Hongkong by Tse Ah Pak. (the notorious l'anton Socialist M.P.) The latter was then to escort Admiral Von Hintze to Sun Yat-sen's headquarters in Canton. It further reveals that a Bureau was to be established with Admiral Von Hintze as its Head, acting in the capacity of Advisor to Sun Yat-sen. This Bureau aas to arrange for Bolshevik agents to be sent to China. A further disclosure is that Sun Yat-sen was keeping the project secret from members of his own Government and that he was conducting his negotiations as recently as March of this year.
It is due to the failure of the former Vice-Minister of Finance in Canton to burn the incriminating correspon- lence, as directed by Sun Yat-sen, that the scheme has leaked out.
We will now let the documents tell the fuller story :---
Sun Yat-sen's Letter.
The most important letter is one written personally by Sun Yat- sen to Lin Chung-oi, Vice-Minister of Finance in Cantou, in connec- tion with the remittance of funds to Dr. Sur'e paid emissary in Berlin. This was enclosed in an envelope marked "Important: To be opened personally." The envelope is reproduced on this page, marked "Photograph No. 1"
The letter. Photographs Nos. 2 and 3, was in the following terms.
Kweilin, March 8th., 1922.
My Dear Two Elder Brothers, Chung Oi and Ah Pak.
I have just received from Chu Wo-chong a letter which informs me that our affairs are progressing. You will understand in reading the enclosed correspondence why the help of both of you is necessary to me. (Burn this letter after having read it).
1. Brother Chung Oi, as requested by Chu, must effect the remittances on Peking and Berlin, amounting to a total of $4,200. That part of this sum to be sent to Berlin must be converted into American Gold Dollars or English Pounds: you should not buy marka, because it is to be feared that the mark will go down and not go up any more, whilst the gold dollar and the English pound show à rising tendency. I am enclosing herewith an order for payment. and this will be paid to you from my personal account by my cashier.
2. Brother Ah Pak must wait in Canton for the arrival of Hintze in Hongkong where he will go to meet him and bring him to Headquarters. This matter should be kept absolutely secret and you will, so soon as you receive this letter, instruct the Telegraphi

Chinese Emissary's Report,
In the above letter was enclosed a communication which San had received from his emissary in Berlin, Chu Wo-chong (Photo- graph No. 4) the translation of which reads as follows:-
Berlin, January 1st, 1922.
To the President.
I beg to inform you that after the receipt of $6,290 in silver coins on July 26th., 1921, I sent a draft of $1,200 to my family in Peking, as a half-yearly allocation. I bought a passage ticket for $1,000 and spent $1,000 in personal expenses. The $3,000 balance was con- verted into 102,000 marks (the exchange then being 34 marks to the dollar) and transferred to Germany by the Deutegir Asiatische Bank, During the first month which followed my arcival. I had to travel a great deal and make friends everywhere, and I spent 18,000: marks. The second month I spent 7,000 and the third mouth, having lived very economically, 6,000. I have since been unable to curtail iny expenses, as even a German worker needs 3,000 marks a month in order to live. I have now in hand a balance of 75,000 marks.
Since I have obtained Hintze's help J have greatly progressed and the scope of my activities is a great deal larger.' If a Bureau is established, we shall have to spend three times as much money as we have previously spent. Pressed by necessity and having to bear the expenses of my position, I can effect no further economy, except on my food and daily maintenance.
I should be obliged if you would sand between March 1st. and August 1st. a sum of $1,200, representing my family's half-yearly allowance. You could have this money sent by your Secretary in drafts addressed to Mrs. Chu Chan-shi, wife of Chu Tze-ying, 91, Lai Che-fou, Peking.
Please send me also, between the same dates, the $3,000 neces- sary for my maintenance here in Berlin. They should be converted into gold dollars or English pounds and transferred to Berlin through the Manager of the Dautsche Asiatische Bank, Cheung Hing Street, Canton. Especially do not convert them into marks on account of the possible depreciation. If you send me these sums in due tim they will be sufficient to cover my expanses until the end of the year. Here our plans are just beginning to take shape. It would require six months more to obtain a result. There cannot therefore be any question of my coming back to China now and letting everything drift. Please send me some more funds and give me your instructions.
Hoping you are well. (Signed) CHU WO-CHONG.

Von Hintze's Role.
Sun Yat-sen also enclosed in his letter to the Vice-Minister of Finance a further communication from Chu Wo-chong (Photographs Nos, 5 and 6). This is in the nature of a telegram, which was dis- covered in decoded form, written on the official notepaper of the Expeditionary Headquarters of the Generalissimo of the Army and Navy (Sun Yat-sen). It reads as follows:---
Berlin, January 1st., 1922.
-
Hintze, formerly Minister to Germany in China, knows thorough- ly the situation of China. Having been during eight years on special military mission in Russia, he has acquired many good relations in that country. He speaks English, Russian and French perfectly. Furthermore, he has the new ideas, and is active and tactful. His plans are in harmony with current democratic opinion. He is a man such as there are very few in Germany.
-
Before my arrival in Berlin. Hintza had already advocated the conclusion of an alliance between China, Germany and Russia, a plan which is conformable to your secret purpose. Since I have been negotiating with him he has decided to put aside all other political questions in order to devote his whole attention to this matter. It has been decided to organise in concert with as a Bureau, with the siyeet of bringing about this alliance. When, in two months, all the Lecessary stepe will have been taken, he will ask the German Prime

-redu several heads of the departments shourethen train the other officials, the material, and the decisions to be taken. these matters should be decided by a Chief Secretary. The Director would discharge the functions of adviser to you. The leads of department should then decide which agents should come to China inmediately. which agents should come afterwards, which materials should be immediately necessary and which materials should be imported later on, which steps should be taken without delay and which measures could be decided upon afterwards or executed later on. On all these points, the final decisions would be taken by you in agreement with the Director. Communications thus being establish- ed between East and West and the principles of action well established, the scheme would progress rapidly. But on account of his great position Hintze would have to take an assumed name and his participation in this scheme would thus be unknown to the German public.
In due time, I will cable you, the name of the steamer by which he will leave, and I request you to send a launch to meet him on his arrival in Hongkong, in order to take him secretly to Canton. The question of knowing if after his arrival in China he will be definitely agreed to and engaged by you is not a matter be considered by me. In my cable, the letter "H" will replace Hintza's name.
Kindly praying for your decisions.
