twas Hsu chien, former minister in the government
prominent member of the Kuomntang the revolutionary
party of Chinese workers, that extended the greeting for
Chinese labor these intrepid explorers Of the air from the
Union of Soviet Republics Significant indeed the
GLIDING words of his welcome as follows:
Today behalf peklns

together
"Long live the rapproachment the
"Lons live the gallant aviatOrs of the Soviet Union"

in cheers and applause No wonder the British diplomats
ers are most bitter against the bandit rule Of their imperial

the capitalist frontier against capitalism in Europe While
echoes of speeches calling for the liberation Of the Chi
peoples were still ringing in the ears OF the throngs
reported offering anti-sove Baltic alliance support
of capitalist rule in Poland if the Polish terrorist will only
accept the Duke of York, of the English king their
