"A Cantonese, Suh!"

Dr. C. C. Wu is a Chinese southern gentleman.

Southern gentlemen are alike in this toast: the South, may she always be right; but the South right or wrong.

Last week Dr. C. C. Wu, Chinese Minister at Washington, did a Robert E. Lee. Since 1929 he has represented the ''Chinese Government" which is the ''Nanking Government"--Nanking being a city in central China. Recently China's southern gentlemen in Canton staged a revolution (TiME, May 11), set up their own "Chinese Government."

As a southern gentleman Dr. Wu could only do what he did last week. He resigned as the Minister in Washington of central Nanking.

"I am a Cantonese," he explained, simply, as one explains, "I am a Virginian, Suh."
