facts that Sun Yat-sen admitted Communists to the
Kuomintang and courted the friendship of Russia,
and that armed masses means anarchy. Faced then
with the dilemme of representing Sun Yat-son
either as a knave or a fool and his revolution as
communism or no revolution at all (in the ultra-

that the spokesmen of the Kuomintang can do little
more than envelope their public in a verbal smake-
screen.

When, however, all allowances have been
made, the anti-foreign tone of Mr. Ng's speech at
Nanking on the 9th May is very noteworthy. His
account of the pickling in sugar of the Viceroy Ip Ming-sham (Yeh Ming-chin) is a travesty of the facts, which I may refer you inter alia to pages 502-3 of H.B. Morse's "International Relations of the Chinese Empire: the period of Conflict". Also,his reiterated use of the expression "foreign devils" is intentionally insulting.
