Hindrance to Progress.
The Sian rebellion has proved a
great hindrance to the progress Of the
work of our national revolution. The
results which had been achieved dur
ing the last eight years, and which
would have been crowned with final
success in couple of weeks, or at most
month, were almost completely
ruined. Inestimable damage has been
done to national defense, to COM
munications and to the economic re-
construction work in the northwest
Thus, several years efforts Of the
government and the people, already
taking shape, were retarded. It is i'm
possible to restore in q short space
OF time local peace and order and re-
tnstate a sense Of security on the
money market. Generally speaking,
our national progress has reverted to
= condition that prevailed three years
ago. 1t is, indeed, deplorable. If the
rebels have any conscience, some day

I should not have allowed myself to

Although the rebels did not treat
me as their chief, canot deny that
they are my subordinates, and there
fore I accept full responsibility for
the outrages committed by them. In
telling the story, place the blame
squarely on my own shoulders. Since
my friends and comrades are eager
for detailed information concerning
this incident, hereby, instead Of
frequently repeating the story, extract
from my diary the main facts con-
cerning my personal experience and
the thoughts that were in my mind
during those troublous days. This, I
fear, may reveal my lack of ability as

guidance"

we do not realize they do not exist
In every country" he continued.

ton with procession of State color

SHANGHAI.-The Sian rebellion

that perverse ideas had alerady entered

ture, such as that the troops were in
collusion with the bandits and that
they had retreated from the front
without orders, repeatedly came to me.
Some even went so far as to say that
the troops were secretly plotting =
rebellion.
My opinion was that the foundation
for national unity had already been
laid; that the northeastern troops,
under conditions created by our ma
tional crisis, might have given occa-
sion for the expression Of unorthodox
views, but that, If they were given
sound and earnest advice, they would

thought that, II the whole Of the

was local.
