 End Concessions s
 To NotionoIists

Chungking,. April 25.-CUP)- Chinese Communists are unwilling to make further concessions to the national government and National ist troops must fight if they wish to take Changchun and Harbin, c Communist spokesman said today.
 The spokesman said the un. willingness to concede extended to Chinese government affairs as well as the Manchurian situation and referred specifically to the Army re- organization program.
 "The situation has changed com pletely." he said, asserting that Communist forces held more than 100 towns or counties in Manchuria while the government held from 12 to 20.
 Although the Communists offered to relinquish Changchun and Har- bin after last months peace nego- tiations he said he did not believe they would surrender the cities now since the Kuomintang started the war"
 The spokesman said he believed the Communists were too strong to permit government troops taking the two cities.
