Mr. Rodney Gilbert writes "from [Peking under date of November 30:—
"One of Dr. C. T. Wang's last Red gestures, made under the inspiration of the Turco-Armenian Ambassador of the U. S. SR, was to discharge Professor J. J. Brandt [from his post in the Institite of Russian Languages on a week's notice. This school is under the Fcontrol of the Waichiaopu and @rofessor Brandt, who is 55. years old and without other means of support, Thas been teaching in it for 22 years. He is a respectable Russian and therefore not a Bolshevik and has for years been the esteemed friend of every highly placed member of this community. He has taken no part in political affairs, either in his own land. or in thi but has quietly done his duty by his students for nearly a quarter of a century. He was presumably Yemoved to make way for some Soviet protege who will inculcate into the Russian speaking students the blessings of disruption and chaos, the beauty of treachery and bad faith and the glory of being ruled by the neurasthenic and the unfit." This is the sort of thing that makes one sniff when one reads Dr. ©. 'T. Wang's high flown speeches at foreign club dinners about all that he means to do for China. Why not begin by leaving undisturbed men, old enough to be his father, who' were faithfully serving his country when he was in the nursery?
