FORMOSA: TheCaseofK.C.Wu
With foaming indignation, the government of Chiang Kai-shek on Formosa gave its answer to K. C. Wu, the onetime governor of Formosa who last week bombarded Chiang's regime with charges of one-man, one-party domination and of autocracy bordering on tyranny (TIME, March 22).
¶ The Kuomintang (National Party) labeled Wu's charges "malicious," and expelled him from the party. ¶ The National Assembly asked the Central government to recall the former governor from Evanston, 111., where he is living in self-imposed exile, to Formosa to stand trial on charges of "maladministration" during his service as Formosa's governor.
¶ Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek formally ousted Wu as a Minister Without Portfolio in the Nationalist regime, bringing to an end 22 years' association in the turbulent ups & downs of Chinese politics.
