According to the latest official information, the whole of Kweichow Province has now been cleared of Communists with the exception of the South-west corner, where a disorganised Red army is still playing hide-and-seek with the pur- suing Government troops. The Reds are now in the neighbourhood of Maling, North-west of Tsinyih, with their pursuers gradually closing in
on them.
Better weather in the past few days has enabled successful operations by the Government bombing squadron-
