sans.

The Formosans, however, are so split that they do not seem ready to do anything drastic. The Communists are trying to cement these splinters into a vigorous revolutionary movement. '.

The resistance stems from two major factors: the impact of the Nationalist influx on the Island; and the Nationalists' selfish disregard of the For-

mosans.

Observers here believe that Shilork and Paul A. Porter. now United Sintes

Mr Porter arrived here at the week-end with, as he sold, "frm and expileit instructions" from A "somewhat optimistic" execu tive in Washington.

Mr Shilork is expected here on Tuesday with the product of the Bracli Govertiment's deliberations during the suspen-

Delegales, from the four Arab neighbours of Ispel, reunited here for the resumption of the talks, insist that these conces- sions represent no Teal con^ tribution towards the problem of the refugees, whom they estimate to number 1,000,000.
