Liang Gets Ten Years but Is Pardoned

MARSHAL LIANG, who kidnaped Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, dictator of China, and then repented, was courtmartialed at Nanking and sentenced to ten years in prison. However, the government listened to Chiang's plea for mercy and agreed to give Liang a full pardon. The government rejected for the third time Chiang's resignation of his military and civil posts.

There was much speculation in Shanghai on probable political readjustments. One newspaper predicted the early dismissal of six so-called pro-Japanese officials of the national government and the appointment of a number of left-wingers including Mme. Sun Yat-sen, widow of the "Father of the New China." She has advocated a communist regime and alliance with Moscow.
