Significantly enough the more urban and proletarian members of the Communist Party dominated by Dictator Josef Stalin suspect that the Son-of-Ivan does not even now fully realize what the class struggle is all about. They are bent upon feverish proletarianization and industrialization of all Russians-including peasants and Kulaks.

Standing before them, Chiang seemed more than ever slim, boyish and somehow brittle; but his prestige is that of the man who led a peasant and proletarian army to the conquest of half of China (TIME, Dec. 13, 1926). The partial collapse of that avowedly revolutionary movement and its diversion into a moderate and narrower channel resulted, last week, in the whistling of a new tune by Marshal Chiang.
