Anti-British Riots Due to Chiang?
By Our Diplomatic Correspondent
CHINESE democrats yesterday
flatly charged the government of Chiang Kai-shek with respon- sibility for last week's anti- British rioting in Canton
The intention, said informed sources, was in the first instance to bring pressure on the British authorities to suppress or expel democratic opponents of the Chiang regime at present taking refuge in Hong Kong.
The rioting and the burning of the British Consulate at Canton, Chiang's agents were suggesting, must be due to the activities of Communists and other democrats in Hong Kong.
Mr. T V Soong, Chiang's brother-in-law, recently went to Hong Kong to demand action against democratic Chinese there.
