MARSHAL CHIANG CHOSEN
CHUNGKING, September 13. Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has been elected President of China in succession to the late Lin Sen. Under a revision of the National Government's organic law, Marshal Chiang becomes Commander-in-Chief of China's land, air, and naval forces. ; He told the Central Executive Committee of the Kuomintang that he hoped the Communists would redeem their pledge of 1937 to give up the
Communist movement, dissolve the Soviet organisation in China, and disband the Red Army, incorporating it in the national army. Marshal Chiang added: "We should recognise that the Chinese Communist problem is purely political." The Central Committee decided to abolish the present system of political tutelage or one party rule within a year after, the war. The committee also confirmed Marshal Chiang as President of the Executive Yuan and decided that the heads of four other yuans should continue in office.
