CHARGE OF COMMUNISM REFUTED,
WHAT DR WU SAYS.
A short time ago the Telegraph published an interview which one of its representatives had with Mr. Ma Soo, relative to the spread of
Communism in Russian Kwangtung. Yesterday we were given an opportunity of meeting and hearing Dr. C. C. Wa, Foreign Minister in the Canton Government, from whom a stato. ment was obtained which came As a complete.rofutation of the

Developing these two points, he went on to stato that the talk of Communism being apparent in Kuomintang activities, was due in the first place to the Government's friendship with Russia, which was admitted. Inherent in the heart of a Chinese patriot, he said, is the ardent deaire not to be treated arrogant-

Millions have been sent back to Yunnan. Enquiries through the Chinese exchange banks will verify this," said Dr. Wu.
A NEW TURN Dr. Wu went on to say that the military incubus is paralyzing! the province, and conditions have b come such that they cannot be reforred to without shame by the members of the Government. Money bas gone to fatten the soldiery of other provinces until they have become bloated, and it is hopeless, says Dr. Wu, to expect peace and order until the Province is rid of them.
