MR. EUGENE CHEN AND

"DICTATORSHIP."

It is an accepted anxion of modern state-craft that every country must settle its own form of government. In China the regime over which Marshal CHIANG KAI SHEK presides has been recognised by the nations of the world, and through that government negotiations have been conducted. The unfortunate thing is that the Nationalist Government at Nanking is no longer in position to act да the effective authority and spokesman of China. Its rule has never been more than nominal over a large portion of the

exceration.
