CHIEH-HOU REPORTS DEPUTIES NATIONALIST SUCCESSES SPLIT OVER

Washington, July 1.-Secret military plans, prepared

by the Chinese Nationalist Government, wore handed to Mr Dean Acheson, Secretary of State, today by a special re- presentative of the Acting President of China. The repre- sentative, Dr Kan Chieh-hou, who had a half-hour confer- ence with Mr Acheson, said afterwards that he had also dis- cussed a Chinese proposal for additional' American aid and had summarised the present military situation in China.

Mr Acheson expressed a favourite opinion of the military plan, Dr Kan said. Ho added that he had already discussed all the features of the Chin- ese situation with President Truman. He had not asked for assurances that the United States would not recognise a Communist government in north China "because I know this government will not re- cognise a Communist regime in Chiria.”

-

The "closure" of Communist-held ports was not discussed.

In his summary of the military situation, he said he had told Mr Acheson of "encouraging vic- tories" by the Nationalist forces near Sian and along the Kan River.

In the enlightened conception of industrial relations, the employer has his duties towards his workers; likewise, the man at the desk, bench or machine is bound to observe certain duties towards those whose capital and enterprise provide him with his living.

And reports from Shanghai and other areas in North China in the past month or so have all been lo the effect that the workers have carried the "take" idea to extremes. As a result of this, industry and commerco in these places have come to a virtual standstill. The Shanghai workers' answer to their employers' plaint that business has not recovered to, the extent where the higher wages demanded can be met is to Increase their original demands.
