REDS REJECT PEACE BID BY NANKING
Shanghai, January 21..
The Communists today rejected the Nationalist call for a cease-fire followed by peace talks, and domanded that a peace conforanco take place before the end of hostilities.
An unidentified Communist radio spokesman, in a Chinese language broadcast, branded the No- tionalist proposal as incomprehensible.
He said that unless it is with- drawn by the Executive Yuan, the door to peace has been slammed shut.
