Constitution Suitable To
Peoples Wishes

NANKING, China, Nov. 15-U.H
Having been urged by Generals
simo Chang Kai-Shek to write
without delay a Chinese constitu-
ton based upon the opinions of all
parties and the wishes of the peo-
pie, China's first national assembly
in nearly IL years Friday began
to discuss it's task in a series of
informal meetings.
The 1855 delegates, all members
Of the Kuomintang (government)
party, met in plenary session this
morning to hear Chiang's 20-min-
ute speech. They adjourned early
in the afternoon. For the next few
days meetings will be informal
and mainly concerned with discus
sion of the agenda.
The youth party decided at the
last moment to take part in the
meeting but it was the only op-
position party so far to change its
mind about boycotting the assem-
bly,.
The Communists, China's largest
party next to the K~uomintang,
were still sulking and showed no
intention of relaxing their boycott.
Gen. Chou En-lai, the Communist
liaison officer here, confirmed that
he and most of his delegates were
leaving for Communist headquart-
ers at Yenan.
