We shall be glad of your early reply as to whether

General Fung,
Lok Yeung,
Your telegram dated the 14th noted.
While we are
pressing hard our Northern Expedition, Wuhan has suddenly
resolved to send troops to the East and even to the south,
causing us much anxiety. We cannot bear to tolerate their
laying waste our work, and if an adequate defence is not
made, we shall not be able to reta in our troops in the

in the hope that those who are fanatical may be brought to
their senses. How can we help appreciating this?

forgiven. We have also been told that they have recently
been instructed by the 3rd Internationale to change all
their slogans into "Opposition against the Communists and
the overthrow of Tseung". If Tseung can be overthrown by
offering opposition to Communism, then union with the
Communists
