NOT SUBMITTING TO DICTATORSHIP
Received Tuesday 10 p.m. "The Chinese Nationalist Govern ment intends to hold Canton as long as possible, " said General Wu Te.. Chen, Minister without portfolio in the Chinese Nationalist Government, who was the guest of honour at a luncheon given by the Tokio Foreign C'orrespondents' Club. "We can hold on at leas. three to four months unless anything unexpected happens," he added. The Government woRld move to Chungking if Canton fell. It would take a long timo for the Chinese Communists to conquer the whole of China. The Chinese mass would not submit to armed dictatorship — possibly temporarilv but not pennanently. J Asked whether the Chinese Govern ' ment was willing to submit Formosa ic trusteeship if tlireatened, General Wa said: "Formosa will not be threatened unless the Chinese Communists receivg aid such as planes and a navy fron outside."
