Peace talk is treason. - It is anti- - Chinese. And is anti-Party,' as well as anti-Government. It is re- bellious.

Foreign observers shrug their shoulders when it is stated that Mr. Wang Ching-wei is stating a personal opinion. They not un- « naturally ask "For whom is he speaking? What section of the Chinese ruling groups does he re- present? Does he represent the attitude of Generalissimo Chiang Kat-shek?"

These are not unreasonable questions when the Idea of the dictatorial powers of the Gen- erallssimo is grossly inflated Just to convey the impression - that malicious statements, in- directly involving the General- issimo, can only be made if the latter's sanction, express or im- plied, has been given.
