practice. How can we have face to see the soul of our President in Heaven? and how can we appease the spirit of

our heroes who have died? We have now only one thing with

which we can please our President and our heroes, and that

is the vitality which the President has left to those of

Man Tong under the flag of Blue Sky and White Sun, and die

for the revolutionary principles of our President". I would

also dare answer the question on behalf of our late heroes

who were Communists as this "We are willing to die under

the flag of Blue Sky and White Sun of the Kwok Man Tong for

the cause of national revolution, and when we die for the

3 Democratic Principles, we are also dying for Communism.

to arise among them, but maintain union and complete their

responsibility of national revolution, thus carrying out

the 3 Democratic Principles of our President directly and

Communism indirectly. The 3 Democratic Principles and

Communism have to rely on each other, if success is desired;

and there is no inconsistency between them. We do not like

any quarrel to arise among you, as it will break down the

vitality we have left." Now, what should we who survive

then do? We should exert ourselves with all sincerity to develop the 3 Democratic Principles so as to accomplish

our national revolution. However, no national revolution
