GENERAL LI TSAI HSIN'S REVIEW OF POLITICAL

AND MILITARY AFFAIRS.

A PLEA FOR THE ENDING OF FACTIONAL STRIFE.

REFERENCES TO WANG CHING WEI,

CHIANG KAI SHEK AND WU HAN MIN.

Ar exceedingly interesting review of political and military affairs was given to the students of the Sun Yat Son University by General Li Tai Hsin on October 24th. A translation of the speech was supplied to Reuter's Agency for transmission to the Hong Kong newspapers, and this is given below. It is difficalt to follow some of the statements made, but enough is clear to show the trend of General Li Tai Hain's policy. -

Following a plea for the ending of factional strife he asked the students what was the use of putting up posters and shouting watch-words. In his view the meansadopted in the Revolutionary wove-'.. ment during the past two years have been fundamentally wrong. It was amiss, he said, for the students to enll, meetings, for the labourers to parade every day and for the peasants to come to the eities to carry out their respective movements. The revolution had to be carried out through intelligence and intellect. There WRA... much to be done in Kwangtung but owing to the lack of suitable persons to undertake it, the work, of reconstruction was only a farec. They must not rely upon wars but upon the establishment of schools for training up worthy students.

THE STUPIDITY OF THE BOYCOTT.

A pointed reference was made to the relationship between the Kuomintang and foreiguers and to the stupidity of the boycott жаров.

Seng Chi who, however, had since turned out to "be untrustworthy fellow. It had not been the intention to start upon such an expédition until internal affairs were more settled and there was considerable opposition to it. When Tang had been reiestablished in Hunan his ambition was "greatly enhanced." He associated with the Communists to overthrow Chiang Kai Shek and thus the split between Hankow and Nanking began.

The opinion was expressed that the Tupan of Shansi, with the help of the Christian: General and the Nanking forces, Would certainly overthrow Chang Tao Lin.

THE GENERAL SITUATION IN CHINA. General Li Tsai Hsin said:--Dur. He knew pretty well that after the ing the recent Fengtien-hansi-war, reconciliation of the Sanking and .public opinion has seemed to be in Hankow Parties, his position could favour of Fengtien, but in reality, no longer be maintained. He, the outcome will be advantageous therefore, sent representatives to to Yen. Although Chang Tao Lin has more or less practical power, he lacks the co-operation of other

parties. Yen Shek Shan, in spite of his handicap in military forces, will certainly overthrow Chang on the arrival of Feng Yu Hsiang's troops and the Nanking armies.

We have to build our revolution through intelligenes and intellect which may be considered as the fundamental process.

There is much to be done, but ow ing to the lack of suitable persons, the work of reconstruction, és but

Since the reorganisation of the Provincial Party problems of the past have been solved, but owing to the absence of many appointed com- mittees, the Party affairs seemed to be paralysed for a time. At pre- sent a few additional Committees have been appointed by the Peli tical Council to do their utmost in the work of reorganisation. The City Party is in the same condition.

The internal strifes are lined as follows: The Arst is the difference of points. Com- rade Wang said: "There have been two strifes in our Party: the Shisan Conference and the Nanking- Wuhan split. The principal cause

of the first strife is due to the aim At the future prospects of the Nationalist Revolition and the Kuo- mintang itself after the admission of the Communist Party into the Kuomintang.

of the strife. Hitherto a number of our comrades just like the Shiann-faction-were- impressed by the evils of the Com munista and were quite determined to expel them from our Party. Their idës was good but their aétion was a breach of policies and 'orders of the Party. Now we are all aware of the facts and should unite to- gether as far as possible, without

any future growth of different Fac

tions.

In dealing with the communists -many favoured extreme actions: Prior to the "Purge Party" more ment it was the advocacy of our Party to admit the communists but after the said movement, secret league with the communists will be illegal. Consequently we now con- sider these questions absolutely of past importance. Coming to the point of division of factions, I am of opinion that owing to corrup tion of the followers of Comrade Hu Han Min, Comrade Wang Ching Wei showed great dissatis fnction with them as well as Comm- ralle Hu. Comrade Hu's history and personality should deserve of our admiration, and this cannot be depreciated and destroyed only on

account of the quisconduct of his

co-workers.

It is stated that until the further expansion of the Boycott, the Society which is organising it has commissioned Wong Hoi to act as chief picket. Wong Hoi desires to have 20 per cent, of the value of all goods acired by his men, but the Society are to have another reeting to consider these terms. Hong Kong Chinese merchants are shipping only amall quantities of goods to Canton these days in order to avoid possible difficulties.

It has been declared by the Kuomintang newspapers and by the Provincial Government that Canton will support Nanking" and not Wuban. This is taken as evidence that General Li Teal Hein's policy has prevailed and that Mr. Wang Ching Wei, who was believed to be a sapporter of Hankow, has decided to co-operate with him
