The last character, whether it is spelt tong or tang, denotes essentially a political fac- tion or party. Nationalism is, therefore, the creed of the Kuo- mintung, that is, of a certain political party. Our correspon- dent, "Uninterested," may call it a poliey (according to Western views) or a "precious possession" (as construed by the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, the founder of the Kuo- mintang).
