Li Zongren has declared in the United States that he could summon 2,700,000 guerrillas to oppose the Chinese Communists.

At the time our country was shattered, that Li behaved like this was really disappointing.

During the Indian election this time, the strength of the Communists in various constituencies in South India have increased greatly, whilst the strength of the large parties of India has diminished. The political prospects of India are really worrying. Nehru was certainly unable to combat Communists and must be defeated by the latter.
