Sir,-I grant that Chiang Kai-shek was not elected by popular and free election. He never pretended to be, but Communists do pretend to hold elections and do claim to be democratic. Very well. When Communists genuinely hold elections I will admit that they are the elected ‘governors of the people, but until then I refuse to acknowledge them as the chosen rulers of the people. I did not say that Chiang Kai-shek was the proper and duly elected ruler of the Chinese people, I did not say that two wrongs make a right. I did object,
and rightly, to the statement that the present Government of Communist China represents the Chinese people.
