Northwest Province
Of Sinkiang Reported
Surrendered 10 Reds
By the A<sociofed Press

CANTON, Sept. 28.-The vast
northwestern province of Sim
kiang, which fronts on the Rus
sian border, was reported reliably
today to have gone over to the
Communists.
Tihwa, political center of the
sparsely -peopled but rich province,
has been out of radio contact
with Canton for two days. That
fact added weight to the report
that all Nationalist officials had
pulled out of Tihwa into southern
Sinkiang.
An informant said he assumed
Chinese Communists had taken
over control of strategic centers
throughout the northern part OF
Sinkiang, at least. He also sup
posed that Gen. Chang Chin
chung, turncoat Nationalist who
formerly was commissioner fol
the northwest. had manipu.
lated the surrender of Sinkiang te
the Communists whom he hac
been courting. He was last re.
ported in Peiping where he went
months ago as a peace emissary'
to the Communists.

cause they claimed the little man,

Controls Held Vexatious.-
Mr.. Churchill said the govern
ment should have relaxed need
less and vexatious control and
interference with the flexibility
of private enterprise" and lifted
the threat of further nationaliza-
ton of industries.
Under such conditions, along
with government which could
command national and interna-
tional confidence, he said, the
pound sterling would have a good
chance of opening wide the doors
of prosperity"
Whatever the advantage of de-
valuation, he said, the timing was
wrong. It should not have been
left, he added, until a crisis broke
upon us, but should have been
taken in anticipation Of it."
1T is not easy to palliate the
chancellor'S blunder," he said.
Mr.. Churchill said Britain need
not expect American manufactur-
ers to consent to a cut in their
protective tariffs Immediately. As
part of the recent dollar talks in
Washington. American officials
had agreed. to try to ease tariff
barriers against British goods.
II have always hoped for a large
reduction in American tariffs" he
said. "but this is no time to nurse
illusions or delusions."
Calls for Spending Cut.
Mr.. Churchill said that If the
government felt it had no other
course but to cheaper the pound,
it should have made this part Of
general policy Of setting our
finances in order. The government,
he added, should cut its spending.
"On what?" shouted q heckler.
"You ask him that" Churchill
thundered in reply, referring to
Cripps. He has the power to
answer that question and the duty
to answer that question"
Cripps yesterday said the gov

duce defense spending and has
no intention of pruning social
