ful commander in chief of the na* tionalist forces, told the United Press in an interview today, in which he also outlined the southern plan to drive on toward Pekin at the earliest possible time. “My army is ordered to preserve peace in Shanghai, ’’ he said, adding •that he had telegraphed Eugene Chen, foreign minister of the southern government, to come to Shanghai to negotiate with foreign diplomats over the status of the settlement and concessions. He said he did not believe the communist-centrist split in the Kuomintang (national government), was serious. But for the northern Chinese faction, Chiang had no such words of peace as ho offered to foreigners. For Unity and Peace “The Cantonese will not compromise,’ ’he said. “We will drive on to Pekin as soon a* possible, to attain our goal of a united, peaceful China.’’ Plans for the punitive expedition northward are as yet indefinite, said tho plain-spoken commander, who has led the southern army on its sweep northward through the rice fields from Canton to Shanghai, Nanking and the Yangtze river In a campaign which seasoned military observers said could not be successful. Plans Final Drive “But I have given the order for mobilization for our final campaign and It will start soon,” he added. “Three coliimns of troops will push northward on three fronts.

He was clad in in the plain uniform of a private, which he habitually wears, and he wore no decorations or insignia, unless a necktie of red and blue —the Cantonese colors —could be called such. “I am cognizant of tho friendly sympathy of America,” Chiang said, "and needless to say, it is deeply appreciated. Tho incident at Nanking was most unfortunate and if reports are true tnat Americans joined the British in the bombardment of the city, I fear the news may cause misunderstanding and doubt of the good will of American toward the revolutionary party. “The stories of refugees of atrocities at Nanking may possibly be true. I am investigating thoroughly. It must be remembered, however, that China is in the midst of revolution. The enemy constantly is seeking to spread ill-feeling abroad against the r^'Qlutionists. Oppose Hostility “Our policy has always been against hostility toward foreigners, and all my subordinates have from me personally definite instructions to protect lives and property regardless of nationality. “The northern retreaters often dress in nationalist uniforms when they are engaged in looting, to spread distrust of the southern cause.” After giving his assurance of the safety of foreigners in Shanghai. Chiang said the southerners were trying to restore peace and tranquillity from anarchy. "We are clearing out the lawless element and the gunmen who cause trouble to foreigners everywhere," he said. “Wo will leave the problem of the Shanghai foreign settlements to diplomacy when Foreign Minister Chen arrives. After that, I will not be interested in diplomacy, for I am a fighting man and I will back the Cantonese government’s policy to the limit.” *
