CAN IT RECOVER ITS OLD HOPES?

Just a year ago, full of enthusiasm for a great cause, I visited Canton to find a real Government in China, writes Mr. George E. Sokolsky in the North China Daily News. At that time, those who called them- selves a Nationalist Government were, as a matter of fact, govern- ing a small arca consisting of moet of the province of Kwangtung, a bit of the Fukien-Kwangtung border, & strip of the Kiangai Kwangtung border and a hinter land in the ungovernable province of Kwangsi. They were doing very well, remarkably well at this job not of course, by the western stan dards of governmental efficiency, but in coraparison with other poli- tical agencies in China. I arrived in Canton at the moment of in- tensest optimism there. Men were working hard 意 their jobs.

For as the Government be came more involved in the fright- ful expensiveness of the war, the more they required Moscow's assist- ance. And as Moscow gained in strength, they drove from the Gov erniment every person associated with Dr. Sun Yat Sen, except his immediate family.
