The Hankow party is also said to have advised General: Chiang-„Kol- Fahek to come into the alliance allegedly in existence with General Feng Yu-hsiang. If he does is declared, his preylous misdeeds will be forgiven. Another report, however, has it that the Communists in Hankow have changed their mind. Their "new policy" is to co-operate with "small capitalists," to adopt a more res- trained tone, in foreign diplomacy. and to continue the attack on the North.

intimation from the British or other authorities in Tientsin. It is also stated that valuables are being removed away from Peking to
