YUAN ASKS FOR INVESTIGATION

Nanking, September 17.

The Legislative Yuan's Budgetary Committee today proposed investigation of China's initial socialisation of industrios, which the Govern- ment has attempted in conformity with the fato Dr. Sun Yat-sen's principle of socialisa- tion_of_wealth._

State-owned enterprises will form the main target of the investigation which is designed not to retard the country's switch to socialism, but to see how these enterprises are working and how to bring them in line with orthodox socialism.

The Republican Vice-Presiden- tial candidate- pledged his party to a vigorous campaign, but warr ed against a bitter night on for eign policy management, labour relations and other issues which would encourage the enemies of the United States.
