was Degun. everywhere In Mancburl
tachments (volunteers). The move
ment began in south Manchuria and
later spread throughout the whole
Manchuria.
Concerning the heroic deeds of
these volunteers, no description is
adequate. At the present the posi-
ton of Soviet districts as shown in
the accompanying map gives an idea
Of the tent of the anti-imper-
ialist struggle. in Manchuria,
Soldiers Against High Command.
The attitude Of the masses to the
Kuomintang 1ackey generals, such
as Ting Chao, Iii Tu, Ma Chen-Shan,
Su Pin wen is clear. The soldiers Of
the ant-Japanese anti Manchuko
armies under the Kuonintang flag
refuse to obey orders Of the high
command. OF their own accord they
join with the armed peasant detach-
nents, the big Swords, the 'Red
Spears, and engage in the war
against the Japanese army. The SUI
perior officers of the Marking army
under the circumstances are forced
to appear to side with the soldiers
In the war, for otherwise the soldiers
would put them out of the way.
1t is interesting to note that Ting
Chao che Kuomintang general is
secretly sending his representative to
the japanese command to negotiate
a compromise. He had to do this in
secret, because if the soldiers learn
about it, Ting Chao would be no
more.
Again we have the so-calIed ma
tional hero, Ma Chen Shan, who had
at one time capitulated to the enc
my. After he went to Chang Chun
for the Inauguration of "Manchukuo",
his soldiers at Heiho confiscated his
property there and imprisoned his
wife. They warned him the troops
under him would rebel. At the same
time the Japanese deprived Ma of
the Craftsmanship of Heilungking
Province, the seat of Mas power. Ma
disappeared" from Changchun. And
he again became the National Hero.
But the people of Manchu1ia Except
the officialdom of "Manchukuo') re-
gard him with contempt and ridi-
cule.
Su Pin-wen Also Reactionary.
What kind of an affair is the re-
cent coup of Su Pin-wen? In the
past Su was an official of 'Mapchu-
kuo". He had to fight the Japanese
and 'Manchukuo', because Man
chukuo" denoted him, and because
his soldiers forced him to, by MAX
ing the Japanese residents in He'll
ungkiang prisoners. Like Ma Chen
Shen, Su too sent "emissaries" TO the
enemy.
Spread Along Railroads.
Volunteers, worker red partisans,
and the Manchurian Red Army
spread along the railroads and near
by regions. In East Manehuria
along the Tunhwa- Kirin railway is
a red army of 10000 under Wang Teh
Lin (this army is composed Of Chi
nese and Koreans--now reported TO
number O,o00-Translator). This
army is operating in an area en-
bracing Tunhwa, Hunchun, Yenk,
Tungning, Ninguta, Wangchang,
Omu, and firmly established Soviet
Districts in many counties.
