also asked to participate. At Zhou En-lai's urging, he moved to Shanghai to publish the underground anti-Kuomintang Shanghai Newsletter. The newsletter was aimed at westerners in the Kuomintang stronghold as well as at trying to convince western governments that Chiang's regime was corrupt and dictatorial. Return to Canada In 1947, he returned to Canada. At a time when western countries were backing Chiang and were optimistic about his government, Endicott advised the Canadian government that the Kuomintang regime's fall was imminent and then went public with his predictions and his denunciation of the Kuomintang as corrupt. His comments were denounced as traitorous by the media and he was labelled the most reviled Canadian of the year for his support of the Chinese Revolution and the Chinese Communist Party and was criticized by the United Church for his support of the revolution. He continued his support for the Chinese Communist Party by giving lectures and publishing the Canadian Far Eastern Weekly which had 5,000 subscribers at its peak.

He also became a senior figure in the World Peace Council serving as president of the International Institute for Peace from 1957 until 1971.

The government threatened to charge him with treason and sedition, but did not follow through, while others called for him to lose his passport and mailing privileges. Later work Endicott was
