GLOSSARY
[Chinese ideographs have been attached to the names of all the more important political terms, as given in the following list. Proper names may be found with their correct ideographs in Who's Who in China and the Supplement thereto, cited above. Place-names have been given in the Chinese Postal transliteration; all other names and terms are given in the Wade-Giles spelling, but with the tones omitted. In a few cases, the spelling of a name has been well established by long newspaper usage, by the caprice or decision of a man in re-spelling his own name, or by common practice which has become standard English. Examples are tuchün, Kuomintang (instead of Kuo-min Tang or Kuo-min-tang) and T. V. Soong. Capitalization and hyphenation follow, as closely as possible, the practices established by the Quarterly Bulletin of Chinese Bibliography, Peking and Kunming.]
