Chid ng Charges Reds
With Inciting Riots;
Deplores Violence
Taipei, Formosa ipi Gen
eralissimo Chiang Kai-Shek, in
a nationwide broadcast deplor
ing last week's anti-American
riots, Saturday charged that the
Chinese Communists have betn
trying to "stir up mob violence"
on Formosa.
Chiang said Nationalist Chi

States. He gave the first offi
cial hint that Communist ele
ments may have been behind
the violence that led rioters to
sack the U.S. embassy and in
jure at least 12 Americans on
May 24.
The practice of the Chinese
Reds, he said, is "to stir up mob
violence in an attempt to de
story friendly relations between
(Nationalist) China and the var
ious foreign powers."
"Only Hope" Cited
He said the "only hope" of the
the Reds is to "open a new bat
tlefield of psychological warfare
right here in the center of our
fortress by instigating mob vio
lence and propagating an anti
American movement."
The 69-year-old Nationalist
president said he assumed per
sonal responsibility for the riots
which brought "dishonor" to
China and warned he would tol
erate no more opposition to the
United States.
"We must stand on the same
side with the United States
which is the leader of the Dem
ocratic nations." he said. "We
cannot permit any opposition to
this policy from within or with
out." "The lawless acts of May 24
have brought dishonor to the na

relaxation of British trade
restrictions on Red China

"We must frankly face the
