Communism As Rallying Point For Japan's Military Machine In Tientsin
Tientsin, Nov. 6.
The hammer and sickle flag cast a blood-red glow over North China to-day as both Chinese and Japanese officials attempted to employ the Communist threat for their own ends in the political manoeuvring and matching of wits north of the Yellow River.
Japanese assert that Chinese officials have agreed to permit the Communist armies and agents to operate freely in North China, thus playing the Soviets and Japanese against each other while the real China sits on the left bank of the Huang Ho and laughs,
Chinese assert that the Japan-¡ cse are using the Communist as a pretext for their own military action in China, and there is no truth in the Japanese reports of a secret agreement between Nan-j king and the Communists-regard- ing North China.
This purported agreement, ac-1 cording to Japanese authorities, was supposed to have been initial- ed by Chiang Kai-shek on July 2 but was not formally accepted by both sides until October 4 when the "Young Marshal" Chang Hsueh-lang, flew to Shensi and signed the pact with Chang Ku- tao, Chairman of the Chinese So- viet Parly in North-west China...
It is asserted that the agreement provides that the Chinese Central Government will allow the Com- munist troops to flow freely from Szechuen and other central and southern provinces, to the. North where they have open communien- tions with Russia and Mongolia. In return the Communists are to withdraw their agents and armies from Central and South Chinn.
Communism, it appeared almost certain, is going to be the rally. ing point for the Japanese mill- tary machine in North China and Mongolia. Failure of the Man-

Obscure Hopes
Washington, Nov. 11. Armistice Day's celebra- tion to-day finds European "war clouds" obscuring the bright hopes for peace enter- tained 17 years ago when the armies of the belligerent na- tions laid down their arms.
