them, he yet went so far as to libel Ngok Fei as having conspired with the enemy and refused to supply him further with arms and military expenses. Thus it came to pass that so far from Ngak Fei's most earnest byalty in defence of his country being unimpeachable and without stain, he was actually thrown into prison and died there.

The present state of affairs is similar to that in

which Ngok Fei found himself. Is there any morality or conscience in this? Surely the man who can spread such

malicious rumours is amenable to no dictates of conscience

or moral law. He is without any regard for his country or the revolution, and simply wishes to destroy our

national revolutionary work and bring down the national

leaders. His sole aim is his own influence and aggrandise-

ment. When an opportunity occurs for him to turn some –

thing to his personal profit he will seize on it even at

the cost of ruining his own country and race. His actions

in short do not differ much from those of Isun Kwui, and

such is the present state of affairs.

appealed to us members to die a Man Tin Tseung or a Ngok Fei for our Party, our country andour Principles.

stood by him he often encouraged me to become as a Luk Sau

Fu or a Sz Ho Fat. And I now solely declare to you that

I will carry on in the spirit of our late President and

do my utmost for the Revolution until I die. Even when

I have ceased to be Generalissimo, I will fight to the

and as long as I live and have a shot to fire. My dearest

wish is to see the Revolution accomplished and the prin-

ciples embodied in our late President's "Three Aspects

of Democracy" put into practice.
