It remains for us to illustrate the application of this seventh manner of predication and for this, we shall draw upon the examples, mentioned in the foregoing fourth chapter. (1) In the first example there, we saw firstly that Marshal Tito was an extreme communiet in some lines of his action (Bhava ) and was not an extreme communist in some respects. These two attitudes of Tito were kept in successive views by the Amerioan people, as a result of which he appeared in an additional aspect before them viz., as a "reasonable man to deal with ". This is the result of the application of the third Bhanga. The said two attitudes of Tito, instead of being considered sucoessively may be considered simultaneously and this would make his nature inexpressible, in accordance with the application of the fourth Bhanga. This inexpressible aspect of Marshal Tito's nature may be said to consist in 'a tendency to avoid the extremes of political views '.
