Well, they are kicking about the Bolsheviks. The Canton newspaper. The China Truth, says that the Soviet Government is trying to stab China in the back. An article in the iiew Siterary Digest tells us just what China's grievance is. The Soviets apparently are stirring up all those Communist disturbances in China, and the turmoil and fighting has done enormous damage. It all tends to keep China from forging ahead as she ought to, says the Literary Digest. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 the [roles and his c I 00 to a G i Caro audiencet^.* I"' iral antf_ ^ "'SKS t 'ITIPP I hao ;oenecl to be asked to intro­ duce the c on ' ue ; or of 'M' :amous foe 1 he rtd h i i ra I i s fiav i n 9 a busy time of 1 } t ecf ur i r o tt*4-k i no to—the crowds -tH4t hat Her - w h a re v er -- He In spite of the jr i n d anr' the strain, he looks fit an d ; h e e r y . *. e t a.! k e about the n ew s of the day far t moment, and i showed him sags dispatches had and asked him to nick 'theA*ifev/s'* i tem A, > f the day. beinc a flying man, naturally his eye :e I I ona flying story. hi ere it isi- ltTs ibout a british atr^plane that took a i lunge into the Med i terranean today.
