Tt is probable that the Left Wing is responsible for this failure, for the' Communist Uprising in Canton in December left them in an awkward ree then, however, the Left has gained in stature, for there is a Third Party somewhere in the fling, to which many Keomintang members are flocking. The Third Internationale dismissed many Chinese Communist leaders and. these have been organizing a Third Party—that is, Kuomintang Communist Party, and the New Kuomintang. The Loft Wing, particularly, Mr. Chen Kung-po, have given the impression that they are opposed to the Third Party, bat if Mr. Wo Teo-hui and the Nanking Genro succeed in driving Mr. Chen out of the Kuomintang, then the Left Wing may join the Third Party, in which case that party would contain more 1924-registered members of the Kuo: mintang than the Nanking party can boast.

The Centre Party, hot described several days ago, are, however, prepared for a fight. They refuse to attend the Fifth Plenary Session if Mr. Chen attends; Mr. Chen's associates of the Left Wing refuse to attend unless all their members are present. Therefore, there is no quorum.
