Last week in San Francisco immigration authorities were waiting for another ship on which to re-deport him to China. Lawyers of the American President Line shuddered at an awful possibility: that the Chinese Communists might refuse him entry, and he would spend the rest of his days a man without a country, crossing and recrossing the Pacific, at the President Line's expense...
