Chang Kai-shek turned against his associates after the assassin-

ought now to be modified. When it is a question of receiving refugees whose offence is purely one of disagreement with his own people, the policy is wise. But where a whole party has been openly hostile to us, and has attempted to ruin us, it is foolish to give shelter to one faction of that party just because another faction has thrust it off the spoils of office.
