To the Editor of the "Nowrn-Cuiwa Dany News.
Smm,—Mme. Sun Yat-sen, who is at] present ill ay result of her recen strenuous activity in Wuhan on behalf of the wounded soldiers, requests me to make a categorical denial of reports being circulated here to the effect that her resignation from the Wuhan Government was caused by the so-called "Reds" in that Govern. ment.
This report was given additional urreney on Sunday in a leader in the "Shanghai Times" which said that Mme. Sun Yat-sen, in despair of ever secing her husband's principles put into effective operation, free from the parasitic policies engrafted upon them by the Russian contingent, has resigned from the party until such time as the moderates wrest control from the Reds.
Mme. Sun characterizes thi ment as "wilful misrepresent of her own statement, made before] she left Wuhan, on the reasons for her resignation. This statement showed quite clearly that she had resigned from the party because her late husband's principles were being ignored or warped, not by the s0- called "Red" wing of the government, but by certain militarists in temporary ascendancy in Wuhan.
Mme. Sun wishes to emphasize that the struggle recently. going on in Wuhan is not between the "Reds" and the "moderates"—but, between civil and military officials. It was because of the triumph of the]
ry clements that Mme. Sun resigned.
Mme. Sun further wishes emphasize that she is in, full sympathy with the so-called "Red" wing of the Wuhan Government, because it is that wing that is supporting Dr. Sun's fundamental prinples of party government and the peoplt's livelihood," As Mme. Sun, however, pointed out in her statement, the peasant and labour movement in China is neither a new nor! an alien thing. Dr. Sun was working for the Chinese labourers and peasant two decades before the word "Red" was used as a term of opprobrim. It is only these who Wish {to discredit this movement, and that} wing of the Wuhan government supporting it, who see "Red'
