LI CHI-SEN OFF TO CANTON

Why He Came North: Bringin 1g all Parties in South Closer Together: Freedom of Regional Governments "1 came to Nanking to give to the Northern Expedition the appearance of a united front between ing and Canton." riner, General Li Chie ser, the military leader of Canton, commenced an interesting interview with our representative just before for Canton on had been numerous rumours of division and dissension in the Nationalist Movement. I had to show that these rumours were unfounded. Canton cannot contribute money and men to the Northern Expedition after what the Communists did to us there. Therefore, if the personal appearance in Nanking of General Chen Ming-chu and myself was of value to the Nationalist Movement, we exme to cannot afford to remain in Nanking. I knew that when 1 accepted the position of Chiet-of-[Stalf, But if my acceptance of such 'a position was of value to the Nationalist, Government, accepted it. T have too much work to do in Canton to devote much time to Nanking."
