Populace Chungking, Nov. 28.
Three Banners from the Shanghai populace were presented on Saturday to General Ku Chu-tung, Commander-in-Chief of Chinese forces now operating in Anhwei, Kiangsu and Chekiang provinces, by nine men and women delegates representing the Shanghsi Chinese public bodies.
The delegates left Shanghai on November 18 and, after making their way through the Japanese lines, they finally arrived at their destination, the headquarters of General Ku Chu-\ung, described as "somewhere in southern Anhwei," on November 26, when the presentation took place.—Reuter, Questionep on the possibility of Marshal Wu Pei-fu working for the Japanese.in North China, says a message to the "Chinese American Daily News," Chinese circles in Chungking close to Marshal Wu denied that the Marshal would do so, adding that he has too much self-respect and moral calibre. The incompetence of the North and Central China puppet leaders compelled the Japanese to make overtures to Marshal Wu, a personality who is widely admired among Chinese circles. The rumours that the Japanese are supporting Marshal Wu, these Chinese circles declared, are a grave insult to the latter's unimpeachable character, out, Marshal Wu has always refused to live in foreign concessions or seek foreign protection.
His high character and integrity, they add, have won the respect of his countrymen, who are convinced that Marshal Wu will not accept any Post in the projected new government.—Reuter,
