NationaIists Rule Out
Further Peace Talks
with Chinese Reds
By the Assoeioted Press

CANTON. July 14.-Premie.
Yen Hsi-shan said today the Ma
tionalists never would again talk
peace with the Communists, but
would wage a win all. lose all
fight" against them.
He described the Reds as "ag-
gressors serving as the vanguard
of other aggressors" rs"-considered
here an indirect reference to
Russia.
The Premier, bent and looking
older than his 81 years, told cor
respondents that Nationalist
China would fight on with or
without foreign aid.
He said, I'VE have only
one intention-to annihilate the
enemy"
Nationalists Will Rule 200,000,0 900.
Yen said the territory in the
hands of the Nationalists today
was only slightly smaller than
the United States and contained
more than 200,00o,o00 people.
He adltNtted tacitly the Reds
could take Canton if they wished
but emphasized the fight would
go on whatever happened.
Yen ascribed the Nationalist
failures in the past partly to cor
ruption. inefhciency and incorrect
evaluation of Communist capabil-
tiles.
The Premier declared National
ist and Red strength south of the
Yangtze was about equal. He
estimated the Reds numbered
100000 men.
The Nationalists, he said, are
on the defensive now but eventu-
ally will turn the tide. He said
this was mot q question of time
but Of changing tactics. When we
change ours We'll gain the upper
hand" e
Yen appealed to the Western
powers for help. sass.
Chang Visits Canton.
Meanwhile, Generalissimo Chang
Kai-shek, visiting Canton for the
first time in IL years, busted him
self with conferences. He did not
see newsmen.
Yen said Chiang's main purpose
in coming here from FormoSa was
to survey the situation. He said
he did not know when Chiang's S
projected 12-man emergency coun-
Gil will be activated.
The council composed Of Kuo-
mintang Party men would direct
resistance to the Reds.
A government spokesman said
Chang. who retired from the
presidency in January, probably
will spend only a few days here.
Some quarters say Chang then
will visit other areas-even going
to the northwest where Moslem
resistance to the Reds is firm.
Several Fronts Active.
A Nationalist spokesman at a
news conference said fighting was
under way on several fronts. Five
thousand Reds crossed the Kan
River south of Nanchang. the
Communist held capital of Kiang-
81 Province, he said.
The spokesman, Maj. Gen. Teng
Wen-yi, said Nationalist air at
tacks prevented others from cross
ing and that numbers Of Reds
were killed.
Teng said a large number of
Communists were striking west
ward from Sian, capital of Shensi
Province. He added that Nation
alists had lost Pingli in Southern
Shensi after a battle in which
both sides suffered heavy casual
ties.
