We are glad to note that the Labour Party here

is reconsidering its position in so far that it is no longer demanding the recall of the troops. The long expected conference between the extremist and moderate Cantonese at Hankow has not been held as the moderates refesed to attend. No doubt they were afraid of being rushed by Borodin's bullies. The field was thus left clear for an orgy of Communist rhetoric. This passed under. the name of a conference. It looks as though Chiang Kai-shek has let his case go by default, but his information is better than ours and on the evidence he may have had no other choice.
