And he always comes back to these two points. They are necessary, he thinks, to keep a correct perspective. Ghen CGhia-kang’s regular job is secretary to Chou En-lai, vice- chairman of the Chinese Com- munist Party and chief liaison between Yenan, the Communist headquarters, and Chunking, seat of the Kuomintang dictatorship. Ghen has come to San Fran- ciseo as one of the two secretar- ses of Tung Pi-wu, the Commun- ist member of the delegation. The other secretary is Chang Wan-fu, editor of the Chunking Gommunist newspaper, Hsin Hua Jih Pao. I propose to write a separate story about him. He told me about a conversa- tion between. Chou En-lai and a high American official in which Chou was trying to explain why it was futile for the Communists te accept a Kuomintang offer whereby Yenan might have been given a purely formal post in a purely nominal Chunking body. DRAMATIC EMPHASIS Chen illustrated his point by it was useless for the Communists to put a foot in the door—unless for them even to thrust their body in to the door ——if all the time their hands were tied behind their backs. I asked him about the military problem. Obviously the American (6 > GREETINGS to P. A. from DR. W. J. CURRY f, 8 WAND STUDIO “Anything With a Camera” 8 BE. Hastings St. PAc. 7644 VANCOUVER, B.C.

He cited ene awful story already reported MARSHAL IVAN S. KONEV in the American press. It seems that a foree of twelve thousand Ghinese were attacking a Japan- ese strong point in south China manned by only seventy of the enemy. Even though the Chinese were armed with U.S. equipment they lost seven thousand of their number.
