Neither is to be trusted an inch, but the latter

Mr. Wong Tseng-wai, who is referred to
in the first of the documents mentioned in the
preceding paragraph, was at one time Chairman of the Kwangtung Provincial Soviet, and has been frequently mentioned in my despatches to you during the first half of last year. He went into more or less compulsory retirement in May, 1926, owing to a difference of opinion with General Tseung over the place of Communism in the Nationalist programme. Recently there has been persistent clamour from the Hankow extremists for his return,
the object being to find a member of the Kuomintang
of sufficient standing to form a counterpoise to
General Tseung. Mr. Wong has indeed returned to political life in response to this call; but he
is at the moment in Shanghai and appears to be
working as much with General Tseung and the Nan-
3-chang as
Baclede & chang clique as with Hankow. A press report of
Enclo Na
his recent activities is attached. I attach also
iontof
translation of an extract from the Wa Taz Yat Po
of the 28th March containing telegrams exchanged
between the Kuomintang Municipal Department at
Chang-sha and General Tseung at Nan-chang.

I also enclose a translation from the

taken by the police in respect of the offensive
placards exhibited on the s.s. Tatshan" on the anniversary of Dr. Sun Yat-sen's death (see para-
graph 2 of the despatch mentioned above). The
