Envelopes Imitated

Of late, postmen have been unable to send this anticommunist litera ture (with postage charges paid in full) to addresses probably because: the latter have moved away from. the original addresses written on envelopes. The pamphlets were n tured. to the supposed "senders, though the forged official envelopes were s0 well printed that they could easily have been mistaken for gen-urine ones.

A leading Chinese daily, the "Cheng Yien Pao," generally considered 10 be a mouthpiece of General Chiang Kai-shek, was supposed to be one of the "senders" of the anti-communist literature, which the paper never sent. The editor of the "Chinese American "Dally News" became so indignant that he saw fit (o photograph and print the {imitation official: envelopes of his paper, together with the pamphlet, fon the local news page yesterday: The "Ping Ming News Agency" and the "Ta Chung News Agency" are also victims of the political conspirators. They all took pains to explain im printed pratements that they new nothing of the contents of the pamphlets which they received from the Post OMice and of which they were supposed to be "senders."

Text read from the printed page and cleaned; old type leaves the occasional error.
