He added that he was leaving Tung Pi-Wu as head of the delegation of some forty Communists in Nanking and ten in Shanghai and that he hoped the nagotiations could be resumed before long. In distinction to the above, Chou has two separate occasions during the last few days told American correspondents that his return to Yenan does, in fact, constitute a termination of negotiations.
