Peking, Sept. 22.
In view of the definite cleavage of the Kuomintang into two camps, Communist and anti-Communist, it]
interesting to inquire by what means Comrade Borodin in first denationalizing and then Third Internationalizing the Nationalist party of China, the Kuomintang.
Borodin was an ideal man to choose for that mission, He was educated on three continents, is Tinguist of no mean ability, and for} work in Canton has the most im. portant qualification of all—he has a decided anti-British animus. This latter qualification, said, acquired as a result of the treal ment he received in England while engaged in the task of inoculating soldiers and others with the germ anarchic.
Borodin started operations two ars ago on a ground that was peculiarly favourable to his methods of cultivation, Dr. Sun had developed evidences that his best di were over. These had first oppe od in his mind, His satellites in Canton were more or lo ing with the Utopia promised by the} Moscow ered. Then there was a little group of the already converted, the Chinese Communist party. These were promptly enrolled in the service of denationalising the! Kuomintang.
Borodin had not long to wait before his forceful personality had essed itself on the mind of Sun sen. From those early days they passed through many. tr formations in their relations. Having been taken quickly to the Doctor's bosom, they conversed for hours on the beauties of the new democracy, on the new China, freed from the chains of the impenalist nations. Then they passed from sweetness and light to crimson patches of terrorism and extortion, until in the end, by dint of hard working on the waning mind of the leader, Borodin became Dr. Sun's) righ alter ego. Interviewers and callers on the great man had first to ingratiate themselves into the good graces of the man from Moscow.
At one time, I am told, Borodin was present at all the audiences by Dr. Sun, every word being interpreter for him by his Chinese secretary. Sun Yat-sen himself had been supplanted, and his party had become denatured, This is what Mr. Ma Soo found when he returned from America on his periodical visit to his chief a your ago. His pleadings availed naught; Borodin was established fact, the power elf.
While engaged in putting Sun Yat-sen in his pocket, the Soviet} emissary had not neglected the: party, either the Central Executive committee or the branch comces, His instrument was the late Liao Chung-hoi, who was a kind of disbursing officer of Red funds. Borodin had the background of illimitable wealth; hence, it was the easiest of transitions for the Central Executive to turn over their budget to Liao, for eventual transmission to ow via Borodin. And Moscow didn't grumble when it was told that the price of the Central Executive was $35,000 a month.
