PERMISSION REFUSED
Press Visit To Chinese Communist Army
CHUNGKING, February 23. Replying to a petition from foreign correspondents for permission to visit the headquarters of the Eighth Route Army [the Communist army] in northwest China, President Chiang Kai-shek said the Government would extend them n formal invitation “when the time comes.” . The Minister of Information, Mr. Liang Han-iShao, at a Press conference, said that certain Press telegrams on the Communist 1 question had. been suppressed because their release was not in the national interest. He added; “Our relations with the Communists must be regarded as a family affair. The Government are the elder members of the family and the Communists the junior members. The elders are not keen on publicizing disputes within this family.”
The Eighth Route Army pioneered the now famous Chinese tactics against the Japanese, and also strove to mobilize the whole population of the areas in which it operated.
