Hankow Purged? There was evidence last week that the so-called "Communist" regime at Hankow was purging itself of Russian influence and attempting to resume the program of the late Dr. Sun Yatsen, "Father of the Chinese Revolution."

The Soviets last week granted to Standard Oil interests right to sell Russian oil for which British companies, notably Royal Dutch-Shell, had long been striving.
