KALGAN, Inner Mongolia, May g.
II China's central government at Nam
king is pinning hopes on the Christian"
Gen. Feng Yu-Hsiang for unity and
cooperation in the face Of the common
enemy, 1t Is to be disilluyioned and
should turn elsewhere Gen. Feng has
nothing to offer Marking so long as
Gen. Chang Kai-Shek remains head
of the government there.
or this Gen. Feng was most explicit
in an exclusive interview given at his
home in this dusty. ancient inner Mon
golian caravan city Of Kalgan, when
he discussed national affairs.
Gen. Feng went to the extent of call
ing Gen. Chang a few unpleasant
names and declared: "The Kuomintang
(Chinese national ruling party) stands
ashamed and. dishonored before the
nation"
To drive the nail still farther. Gen.
Feng even composed an extemporaneous
poem, whose gist was that chickens,
dogs, cats and oxen, although animals,
have duties to perform and do not shirk
them. whereas the Chinese soldiers
perform no duty.
enemy. How sorrowful and pitiful 1t is.
I feel ashamed to face the Others" said
Gen. Feng, China's best Snowman.
Wearing heavily padded coolie cotton
clothes and hatless. Gen. Feng. who is
more than six feet tall and who is clean
shaven and heavy -jowled, held the In
terview in q bare, fagstoned gateman's
lodge while soldiers, armed with heavy
automatics and broadswords, stood
around grinning with delight.
Later Gen. Feng grew more confident
and posed in the library Of his home
again with two coolies, one Of whom
seemed too scared or impressed to join
the carefully staged talkfest.
China" declared Gen. Feng, "can
settle this problem by itself It is not
necessary to call upon outside powers.
AS for the League of Nations, that Is a
dream"
Gen. Feng was most bitter at the un-
equal treatment accorded Chinese
troops, declaring that Gen Chang Kai-
Shek's men were furnished with leather
boots and woolen shirts, whereas the
troops incorporated from the Northern
armies went penniless, foodless and
ragged and straw-sandaled.
Gen. Feng heaped all the national
evils upon the head of one man, Gen
CilldIlR hdi-OIltk, WllOIIl ne at IlTSL re-
fused to name openly. Again he COM
planned that the national army officers
were mere youngsters. all friends Of
Gen: Chiang's, trained in his military
academy
who can countenance such young
sters!" he exclaimed Their highest
officer Is younger than my lowest Off
GER"
Gen. Feng has almost 1000 body
guards, who are well disciplined. and
his garden is constantly patrolled by
plain clothes men equipped with hefty
automatics
Outlining his program, the general
lsaid: Our country belongs to the
masses They must be the masters"
He scorned Communism and declared
that, on the other hand, the Kuomintang
was depressing the other parties and put
ting to death those differing in political
opinion. This is running China" he
said, "for one piece of wood cannot sup
port a whole building"
Freedom, Of speech and liberty of the
press, with mass rule, are the founda-
tion stones upon which Gen. Feng
would raise the edifice.
Significantly he listed a number OF
generals, such as Gen. HUI Ha1l Min,
who, in his opinion, are more able to
run the country than Gen. Chang.
