Chang Lan Says Mao Is Not Pro-Russian

Shanghai, January 5.

|Mr. Chang Lan, chairman of the outlawed Domo- cratic League, said today that Mao Tze-tung, Chinese Communist leader, is a Communist for China, not for international Communism. Mr. Chang was asked by the United Press for his opinion on whether the Chinese Reds are Chin- ese Nationalists at heart or Cominform Com- munists.

Mr Chang replied: "I have the international Communist line never been to Communist areas, they will have a diMcult time! and I can

Democracy by Mao Tze-tung, Mao, in the book, apparently follows the principles laid down by Dr. Sun Yat-sen whilch, if he sticks to them, would identify Mao Tze-tung us a Communist for China, not for international Communism."

Associates Go North

Discussing the Communist- sponsored politieat conference in North, China,

anid Mr. Chang that several of his former 0630- cletes of the Democratic League from Hong Kong have already left for the North. He named two of them-Sen Chen-Ju and Chiang Pao-chuen.

Regarding the part the exil. ed Marshai Li Chal-sum, who is also en route to the confer- ence, might play In any government, Mr. Chang said he would almost certainly the highest position.
