Terrorists yesterday morning invaded the Central Reserve Bank at the corner of Kiukiang Road and the Bund. They threw several bombs, two of which did not explode, and the others of which caused a certain amount of damage. They attempted to shoot the manager of the bank, but he fortunately escaped unsezthed. The only victim of their attack was a Chinese watchman who courageously attempted to prevent their get-away. The episode is a very sorry commentary upon the policy of the Chinese national government in Chungking, if, as is generally supposed, their agents were responsible for the attack. This sort of terrorism will do little more than en-Courage the Chungking Government's opponents. It is the kind of thing that will make the Chinese who is not properly anchored to any political belief, begin to doubt the justice of his own cause. If it is necessary to bomb and otherwise terrorize out of existence an organization sponsored by the "enemy," why should "patrioty' put themselves in a position in which they may be shot down by e neutral police force, and create a disturbance which has ihe most serious effects upon business houses in the vicinity of the outrage? There is absolutely nothing which can excuse such en outrage 29 was perpetrated against the Central Reserve Bank in Shanghai yesterday. Sen-soless attempts at killing off the opponents of the national government or sympathizers with Jepan, will get the Chinese people nowhere, and may prove to be a great embarrassment to China's best friends.
