WITHIN A few hours after
Gen. Pat Hurley resigned
his embassy 10 China with
reSoundlng protest against the
Communist conspiracy in the
state department, al least two
motivated propaGandiSts of the
radio who interpret news
were on the air with a star
ting revelation.
The Nationalist Government
Of Chang kai Shck was not a
democratic regime, after all. al
though the Roosevelt, govern
ment had given the American
people 10 understand that il
was.
t'H the contrary, il vas an OPP
prcSSNe rule which now was US
lnC American equipment and re-
Cclvlng American military help
m SubdulnG peoples army,
more honestly known as the
Communist revolutionary army.
The United States had been
committed TO the support Of
Chang kai Shek during and
even before our involvement in
the war against Japan and un-
tll the invading Japanese had
all been rounded up, disarmed
and sent home.
COON after Marshal Stains

OF fighting, brought Hirohlto 10

Americans had been unable n
do IN more than three years ~
tremendous struggle. the Chi.

simultaneously. in the United
States. persons who previously
had cNtolled Chang began 10
discern flaws IN ms admniStra-

The least that was demanded.

personally would like no better
present from their government
than delivery home by the
earliest available transporta-

To this extent they are SYM.
pathetic with the Communist
desire that this natfo now

That desire Is 50 ardent n

y whose opinions usually agree
with those NJ the Communists
and their fellow travellers. eSpe-
CJally those who were planted

Chang kai ShCk IS not running
democracy
First she rCpudlated her old
friend Madam Chang kal Shok
with the observation that she
could talk very ConvinCinglv
about democracy and Us aims
and ideals but she haSn any
idea how 10 live II.
This. of course. Is true and
VAS true. as Mrs Roosevelt
very well knew. throughout the
time that tho American people
were being doped on hos from
