It is understood that the paper is printed in Chinese and probably a considerable amount of translating would be required to ascertain whether or not the paper adhered to the Communist party line. There is the addit- jonal problem of whether the ordinary conception of the party line test would apply to a Chinese Commnist. Since China was at war with Japan during the period from August of 1939 to June of 1941, there is little likelihood that the test usually applied during this period would have any Significance.
