This is the donger of Formosa. Sometime this year (and after Britain and probably the rest of the Commonwealth) have extended recogni. tion to the Mao Tse-tung regime, the Chinese Communists are going to try and Invade Formosa for the purpose of taking away from the Nationalists their last strongholil.
