"Not Fish Soup"


PEKING, Tuesday, September 28, 1948

The Daily News had this to say about Nanking reports of an offer for 1,000 gold yuan reward for capture alive of Communist leader Mao Tse-tung or Communist commander-in-chief Chu Teh.

"Mao and Chu are hard to take alive. Why not take them dead? They are not fish soup which must be kept fresh."
