behaviour of the Chinese towards foreigners there has become better than it has been for a long time. Chiang is, of course, being denounced from Hankow, the Communist capital, as a traitor. He seems to have burned his boats so completely that he cannot co-operate again with Mr. Chen and Borodin, but it is still too early to say whether he will be strong enough to proclaim-himself the real Nationalist leader or whether he will join his fortunes with those of Chang Tso-litt with whom he is in communication.
