Chinese political leaders, without excep-
ton, feel that personal differences should
be obli:erated in face OF the present inter-
national situation and the necessity Of
Chinese national unity as an essential aid
10 the preservation OF Chinese national
integrity. Interesting developments are
expected from the negotiations now pro-
ceedlng IN China in America and in
