FOURTH KUOMINTANG CONFERENCE

STILL BEING DISCUSSED.

WANG CHING WEI EXCEEDINGLY ACTIVE AGAIN CALLS UPON CHIANG KAI SHEK.

NATIONALISTS CONTINUE TO DENOUNCE, THE

COMMUNISTS.

FORBID "RED" ACTIVITIES WITHIN THEIR

JURISDICTION. ... ...

CHANG TSO LIN ORDERS FENGTIENESE TO BLOCKADE CHOCHOW.

Renewed efforts are being made by many of the Kuo mintang leaders (notably Mr. Wang Ching Wei) at present in Shanghai to materialise the much-discussed Fourth Kuomintang Conference. Meetings of individuals and sections of the Party are being held daily and to all appearance there is more likelihood. than there was a few days ago of the conference being held. Mr. Hu Han Min still holds aloof, but there seems to be a growing understanding between Mr. Wang Ching Wei and General Chiang Kai Shek to unify the Kuomintang and to bring about the con- ference.

#

Important elements within the Kuomintang have again declared their intention of doing their utmost to aproot all communist influence from with the Kuomintang jurisdiction. It is also announced that the Kuomintang intend to be self-supporting and that therefore no pecuniary help will be accepted from sources other than Chinese.

1

Marshal Chang Tso Lin is losing hope in his troops'. ability to oust the enemy from Chochow, which is being pluckily.. defended by the Sharsi soldiers. He has, therefore, ordered the city to be blockaded indefinitely."
