Feng Yu Hsiang stands between Yen Hsi Shân and Tang Seng Chi at this moment; yet it is not to be narumed that he will do anything to prevent Tang from throwing bis strength into Honam so that Sun Chuan Fang and Chang Tsung Chang might be relieved along the Tientsin-Pukow Railway.

For Feng objected to certain purely party Yu Hsinng is retreating all the decisions at the Shanghai and Nan king conferences. Nänking, there upon, drew up a set of proposals | which, it was felt, should have satis fed Wahan. Apparently, Mr. Wang Chang Wei and other civilian lead- ers seemed to agree to the Nanking propositions, which really amount- ed to little more than a further reorganisation of the Kuomintang, at, a fourth Plenary Session. They left. Hankow, came to Nanking and are now supposed to be on their way to Canton. The only important civilian who remained in Hankow is Koo Meng Yu, who claims that he is not a Communist but who was 'in charge of all propaganda agencies of the Hankow 'Govern ment.

Again, he is the pivot of an exceedingly ugly situation, upon which hangs the fate of the Nation- alist Government, which cannot afford to bribe him as General Chiang Kai Shek did, to support them even by passive assistance.

Canton Not To Be Ignored. Also Canton is to be considered. General Chang Fa-Kuèi may have been a Communist supporter in his day, as so many others were when Comrade Borodin was holding the purse, but it is not likely that he will support General Tang Seng Chi against Nanking. It is rather to show much interest. Nanking to be assumed that Canton will set demanded action and General up an independent Government Tang did not act.
