They had supposed he was only going through motions of Chinese politeness, resigning his offices and accepting "blame" because he had been kidnapped by one of his subordinates (TIME, Jan. 4 et ante}. In return politeness the rest of the Nanking Government besought Chiang Kaishek to take back his resignations, but stories were getting about that he had sprained the base of his spine, or anyhow one of his legs, while kidnapped, that he had to take a long rest, that...
