Shanghai, emma,
October 26, $780,
The shakening, panics and chaos of the pres
ent Chinese situation are more serious, though
the war between Chang Kai-shek Yen-Shi-shan
and Feng Yu-hsiang ended and the pacifi-
cation and unifcation were once more announced
blythe Kuomintang. All of us may remember
that in the last three years such pacihcatlon
and unification were announced as many times
as we could not enumerate While Shanghai
shin was VIGOROUSLY coming back to the south
and while the Marking Government was being
very cheerful to celebrate the victory over the
northern miltarists, Chang Hsueh-liang des-
perately enlarged his territory in north China
refused all the officials appointed by the Nam
king Government and all the sWpus-duties of
the customs at Tientsin dhey were the surplus
of the duties of the customs which are handed
over to the imperalist powers as to pay indemni-
ties loans etc., and their interests were sent to
Mukden The present position and attitude OF
Chang Hsueh-liang towards Marking we're just
the same as that of Yen Shi-shan and Feng-
Yu-hsiang six months ago. This point has been
confirmed by all the information from the north
and from all the foreign press in Shanghai.
On the surface it seems that the Marking Gov
eminent is not offended by Chang Hsueh-liang
at all Chang Kai-shih has come to Shanghai
and is going home at Ningpu of Chekiang prov
ince and it is said that he will soon come to
Tsintao to meet Chang Esueh- liang. Such a
movement seems that he is quite agreeable with
the Mukden warlord. But your correspondent is
told that 1t is the old manner of Chang Kai-shih
and that he did the same when he was being
prepared TO fight with Yen Shi-shan and Feng-
Yu-hsiang some months ago.
On the other hand the Marking Government
Is making big scheme to "exterrnnate conlnu
mist bandits" At meetings held at Eankow the
militarists of Human, Hupeh and Kiangsi prov
inces decided that each of the three provinces
send six to eight aeroplanes, eight to ten war
ships and three to eight divisions of the troops
respectively to carry out the scheme of the com
runist bandits determination" In each of the
provinces of Kiangsu Shantung, Honen, Fukien,
Kwangtung, etc, commissioner was appointed
to devote his time and to bear the responsibility
to clear out the Red forces from the country.
From the interview with the Marking auGhori-
ties your correspondent learns that this is the
tactics of Chang Kai-shih who is being prepared
to fight with Chang Esueh-liang in near future
by first clearing out the revolutionary elements
from the rear of the field. Because in the last
war when it was very critical in the front (hot
fighting on the Tientsin-Pulow Line) the Red
Armies suddenly occupied Changsha, the capital
of Human province, making all the troops in the
front very much vacillating and nearly collapse
all at once.
But the tea troops were smarter IMAM the
white ones and had more tremendous develop
ment just when the communist discriminating"
commissioners were being appointed when the
meetings being held for discussing how to deal
with the Red armies and when many Divisions
of the troops being sent back to various prov
inces, especially more to Human, Eupeh and
Kiangsi. Now Khan, the very important city in
Southern I-iangs, Is still very firmly in the
hands of Chu Ten and Mao Tsetuag, the most
well-knovn revolutionary generals, and Peng-
tse in northeastern Kiangsi, district beSween
Kiuldang and Anzing, was occupied by the Fed
troops under Fang Chi-ming on October IS. At
the same time Chingtehcheng in northern I-iang
81 where the best Chinawares are produced. was
taken by another group of the Red troops led
by Fang Chi-mng. This is the sixth occupa-
