Nanking, Sept, 30. In an interview with Renter's special crrespondent, Gen. Hsiung Shih-hul Governor of Kiangsi, stated that his administration was tackling the problem presented by the Communist menace in South Kiangsi in three ways by building roads, fordifying villages, and re- organizing rural areas. The roads to Nanfeng and Kian already had been completed he said, and, where they were open to raids from the Red Army, they were protected by a string of blockhouses, so that the public bus service was functioning with commendable safety.

The branch had a working capital of $1,000,000, of which one quarter was provided by the Provincial Government. The capital not out on loan was being utilised to finance the reclamation of land by building dykes along the Poyang Lake. This work also provided relief for refugees from the Communist area.
