FACTIONS IN CHINA
BREACH NOT ENDED
NEW YORK, December 17
Tiie Chinese Communist leader, Mao Tse-tung, announced to the second People's Congress that the negotiations between the Communists and Chungking had not'attained the least result, says Yenan radio. Mao called on the Chinese in Chungking-controlled areas to support the "democratic patriotic movements" against "the reactionary authorities."
Mao said there was little hope of accomplishing the desired unity by negotiation. He accused the Chungking regime of defeatism, and'of obstinacy in holding to a one-party dictatorship, and appealed to the people to demand a national convention of all parties in order to obtain a democratic coalition.
The Yen an regime alone had carried out Sun Vat-sen's principles, he claimed. The Communists had been able to unite people of all walks of life into an heroic army which had shattered all the enemy offensives, and now was about to launch a counter-offen-sive in order to recover vast lost territories. He warned that the Japanese would certainly resort to stratagems to induce capitulation by the Chinese Government.
