Mr. Wang Ching-wei on the Purification of the Nationalist Party and the Present Dangers 'The following is a translation, made by Mr. B, D. Pan of the Shanghai College, of a speech recently delivered' by Mr. Wang Ching-wei, the Nationalist leader:
On a previous occasion I had the sure of reporting on the com-Dilete process of the "Purifteation of the "Kuomintang" at Wuhan. Wohan being the most difteult and Jast element in the Kuomintang to be enlisted in the expulsion of the Communists, its move in this direction was the finishing touch of the now unanimous policy of the Party.
propose in this discussion to make the following observations as important measures to take after separate-_ ing from the Communists.
First of all, we must continue to stamp out Communist elements in China, jeparation from the we mean their expulsion from the Kuomintang. But What are we going to do with them after that? From the declaration of the Communist Party of China of July 13 and that of the China Communist Youth Association of July 19, it can be that thet] po policy ison the one hand to oppose and embarrass the Nationalist Government and the Provisional Committee, and on the other hand, to try to maintain individual membership in the Kuomintang. It is evident that they are proposing now to utilize the Kuomintang and later' to break it to pieces. They want to make an eggshell of the Kuomintang, they themselves being the vunhatched chick, which-will sooner or Inter break the shell and come out, To this end, many clever plans are in the making, of which the following reports from Moscow and from other sources inside our 6wn territory are noteworthy.
Drive Through Northern Provinces That with Mongolia as the basis} of action, they are to make.a drive through the northern province where the influence of the Kuomintang is comparatively feeble. In Bhs utters ovine ney the Nationalist deadly opponent]
all their activities, So the first and most prominent measure for them to take is to undermine the Kuomintang, partly by external opposition, and partly by joining the Party and then breaking it from within—for they well know that once the party ig broken up it would be a long time before the members could be unified, and in the meantime the different clements woald fight with each other until all of them perish So the so-called "separation from the Communist" is at present only 1 formulated policy of the Kuomintang, whose full _materialization has yet to come. Since the Communisto are attempting not only to disintegrate the Kuomintang but algo to overthrow the Nationalist Revolution, for which the Kuomintang in" shouldering the bulk of responsibility, I appeal to all the citizens of China to come forward end put down communism.
