1000 Chinese Slain
I'm Canton to Stop
Alleged Radicalism
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CANTON, China, April 12.-More
than a thousand alleged radical
agitators are estimated to have been
executed by machine guns during
the past week in campaign by the
Canton authorities to stamp out
radicalism here.
Accused of inStigating Communist
agitation, 30 students of the Ma
tionalist Sun Vat Sen University
we're arrested, court-martialed and
shot. The Sun Vat Sen University,
co-educational institution, has
long been declared hotbed of radi-
calism by the local authorities
In back of the current tenseness
is the Declaration of Independ-
ence" issued early this month by
Canton in which the city's inde-
pendence of the Kwangsi military
clique was openly declared. The
local authorities have expressed fear
that the Kwangsi group might use
the radicals as a means of stirring
up disorder in Kwangtung. So
great was this fear that the local
authorities declared martial law
and troops are now patroliins the
streets.
