China and Spain

Two other storm centres were treated at separate sessions of the Weekend school. Mr. James Bertram outlined the probable nature of the new democratic government in China. The Communist armies, which had engaged over 60% of the Jap forces in China during the war, had the full support of the Chinese people. Chiang's government had a long record of corruption, oppression and unkept promises—notably in regard to the establishment of a democratic coalition administration.

Bonk Scotney led an interesting discussion on the fascist government in Spain, dwelling on the symbolism of popular attacks on the local churches in the Civil War.
