"the public advantage but are intent on filling their own pockets ". I an assured that, if Yuan rere to take strong action in Canton with a view to turning out the existing Goverment there, the people of Canton would atanu astus and would not support the latter.

Sir Chentang Liang Ch'eng endorses that view.

But i rust say that it is very difficult to get

trustworthy expressions of opinion from chinese here.

10 boin with, very many of our leading Chinese citizens

are know to be members of the Kwo Min T'anE • Meny

And although more are members though they might deny it.

there are signs that there is some dissension in the party, no one yet has dared to secede from it openly.

Moreover I have done my best to stop our local Chinese

from medüling in Chinese politios. This makes it all

the more difficult to get information on political

nettore.

Y ure sincerely,

S.

Fi. May
