HONGKONG, Jan. 3O.-The Nan

the 10Th Route Army had surren-

reorganized under Marking auspices.
The 10Th Route Army has been used
frequently against Marking by poll

With 100000 Marking troops now
in Fukien province, the Canton re-
gime is showing grave concern and
is continuing the mobilization of its
troops on the Fukien province Dor
ders. Strong Canton units are sta
toned just within the Fukien border
to guard against a possible invasion
by Marking. Both factions, however,
are mainly concerned with the re-
sumption of the Sixth inperialtst-
directed Kuomintang off ensive
against the Chinese Soviet Republic
and the heroic Chinese Red Armies.

Even the official reports of the Ma

ruptcy of their elaborate demagogic
promises to the German masses.

fight against 'usury capital Or the
promise to end the payments Of the
Versailles Treaty.
The ever growing cost OF living, and
the inlminence Of imitation and credit
crisis, the feverish preparations for
war, and the headlong plunge. towards
a foreign policy of reckless adyentur-
Ism and war are ignored in the off,
cial Nazi list.
The Nazis boast of their crushing
Marxisrn." Their own releases, how
ever, give the lie to this empty boast,
as the Nazi chiefs openly betray their
anxiety over the food of illegal Com

throughout the big factories.
The Nazis are silent in their off,
cial reports Of the $500 German
workers who have been murdered, the
II German workers who have already
been beheaded, and the 40 others who
await execution, and of the 100000
German workers and Intellectuals now

They do not mention the f1asco of
