BULLETIN.
TOXIC, Dec. 6.-Reports from
Japanese sources at Nanking,
China, state that Chang kai.
shek, the self-elected "presi-
dent" of what is left of the
equally nebulous government"
of Marking, has told the ma
tionaI counciP' which he con-
trolls that he is resigning. The
same sources state that the
Marking government" in Or
der to maintain the fiction that
the Mukden, Manchurian gov
ernment is ''loyal" to Nanking,
has approved the peace terms
made by Mukden with the
Soviet UniOn-which Marking
did everything possible to pre-
vent.
1t is freely stated that the
season Chang Kai-shek is re.
tiring is because he could not
keep China PEACEFUL while
making war on the Soviet
&Uni0n, was taken advantage of
by rival militarists aided by
British and Japanese interests.
to beat down Chang Kai-shek.
the outstanding lackey of
American imperialism.
Mukden Yields; Soviet Wins.
MUKDEN, Dec. 6.-The "politi-
cal council of the Manchurian gov
ernment has sent a telegram to
Moscow, accepting in full the terms
previously signed on Dec. 8, by
Mukden representatives and Soviet
representative for restoration of
the Chinese Eastern Railway to
joint Soviet Chinese management.
d., The futile effort to inject a little
"Chinese bargaining" uto the af-
fair, by Chang Hsueh-'iang, the
governor" Of Manchuria, who ere
jected" the terms. after having au-
thorized representatives to sign
them, was given up, as the political
'council at Mukden feo ed the rising
of Manchurian workers and sas-
ants in a fight for a Soviet ian
churia = ould be the immediate re-
suit Of any posi- new advance of
the Red Army or even i the pres
ent demoralization of Mukden au-
thority continued, with its troops
going over wholesale to the Red
Army and no force of repression
possible.
The one point which Chang Hsueh-
liang had quibbled over, the replace
ment of the old railway managers,
Emshanoff and Eisemont, by the
Soviet, was surrendered by the Muk-
den council, while the demand of the
Soviet that the Chinese chairman,
Lu Jung-huan, and the Harbin mill
tary governor who engineered the
raids on the Soviet consulate and the
railway seizure, be removed, has
also been complied with by Mukden.
In short the Soviet Union has won
complete victory. The Chinese try
to "save face" as usual, by saying
that the Soviet has given in by
promising to abide by the 1924
treaty, but as it was China which
violated and the Soviet which kept
the terms of the treaty, this effort
to "save face" can be easily seen
for what it is
Revolt Against Marking Grows.

,, volt flaming throughout the Yangtze
Valley, Marking faces the most crit

oath Division which mutinied at

| has circulated telegram against
. Marking, charging its foreign policy
as being a miserable failure" by
, this means seeking to draw the mass
resentment At the attack on the So
Wet Union, to the side of the anti
Marking militarists.
AT Canton, reports state that an
alarm is felt because the Kwangsi
forces, backed by Marking influ-
snce, are only few miles from the
