To the Editor of the fonru-Cutwa Daty News"
Sm—Your leader in yesterday morning's paper meant very well for the parties concerned, but there were certain facts which you have evident Ty overlooked when you asserted that this war was started because North China was in apparent danger of be~ Ing annexed and not on account of the earnestness of General Chiang [Kal-shek in the recovery of four north-eastern provinees. Now, if we Jremember the Sian Incident correctly we know that it was a coup carried out mainly because of General Chiang's inaction in trying to recover the lost land. But, after Chang Hsueh-liang read Chiang's diary he immediately changed his view about his superior and was not afraid to Jaccompany him to Nanking to receive punishment, On another occasion when General Chiang was accosted by student representatives as to when he ]will lead his people to fight back the our lost provinces, the general re-Jbuked them for their limited know. ledge on lost lands and asked them if they had learned something about Korea and Formosa? To most for-feigners this would sound impossible because China has no navy to speak fof, but what good can a navy do when a nation's economy is in total collapse and the navy without means to move about?
