CLIMATIC Third National Kuo-
mintang Congress convened at Marking
last Friday and important developments
have been expected in that connection.
The world is watching intently for in
many ways the situation is framing
itself very dangerously for the Marking
government. One knows not what to
make of the reports and rumors alleg-
ing ever-increasing menace from Com
munist elements to be found through
out the country and in some districts
| formidable through numbers and or
ganization.
The political murk in Manchuria is
murkier than ever. We are still COM
PEELED to seek as to the real reason for
the execution on January 10 last, by
order of Super-Tuchun Chang Hsueh-
LANG. of Yang Yu Ting and Chang Yin
Huahi. the former Chang Tso Inns
chief of staff. The Nationalist flag OH
cially is flown in Manchuria, but appar-
emily Nationalist authority has in no
| particular followed the flag. On the
other hand, 1t would seem that the old
conservatives are more firmly en-
trenched than ever, that they hold ali
the important posts. The theory gains
ground that Yang Yu Ting and Chang
Yin Huahi were eliminated" because
they were pro-Nanking and intrigued
accordingly. In line with this theory
is the rumor that Yang Yu Ting caused
the first hosting of the Nationalist flag
on December % last without the knowl-
edge or consent of Chang Hsuch LANG.
This kind OF speculation Is more i'm
portant than at first blush it might ap-
pear.
