Orders as to procedure during the! entire week were sent to the foreign. universities as well as schools by the Education Ministry. For the first day of the propaganda week the presidents of all universities were ordered to hoist the Hsin Min flag while the student body sang the Hsin Ming song. The was to be followed by speeches by the presidents to the Students of an anti-Communist and anti-Kuomintang nature.
This the three foreign universities, Yen Ching (American Fu Jen (Catholic) and the Sino-French, all promptly refused to do, Then came orders for the final day of the propaganda week when all students had to attend a mass meeting in a section of the Forbidden City and pass anti-Kuomintang, an! Chiang Kai-shek and anti-Communist resolutions.
