In Washington April 27 a retired bandit Chang Tso lins conservatism is his strength in his war against Chinese liberalism. The piece notes Chiang Kai-shek's Republicans control 1000 miles of coast and a large interior sphere, while Chang holds a small 300 mile square district around Peking. Foreign interests back Chang, the United States is an exception, and Chiang Kai-shek is seen as a reformer who could alter policy if he gains power. Chang can pay trained fighters with foreign funds, making the conflict persistent and difficult to resolve. The piece traces China’s civil split since Sun Yat Sen and the 16-year north south divide, with Chiang advancing toward Peking and Chang defending a fragile hold.
