sending troops to the basin of the Yang-Tze-Kiang. They did

this not only by words, but also by actions. My military

comrades know all that has happened, and without my giving

an account of it, you can see what sort of man Borodin is,

and what ability he has. But now Wong Ching Wai and Sun

Chit Shang still have faith in such a man,

his advice. In everything they would say,

and want to have

"Those are

Borodin's instructions," without taking the trouble to

investigate the matter clearly. They do not try to solve

any difficulty that may be met with, but they only say,

"Let us go and ask the advice of Borodin.' I pity Wong and

Sun very much; they are pitiable indeed. We all know

Borodin and his men very well, and will no more be deceived

by them, but we can only carry out what the Chairman has

just said in warning us, that is, we should uplift our spirit of independence and activity, actively push forward

the carrying into operation of the "Three Aspects of Demo-

cracy", and accomplish the objects propounded by our late

President within the shortest possible time.
