that they would rise in a body against him. At the time of the enrolment, it was explained, their aspication was to sacrifice themselves in a national cause. They had devoted much of their time and energy to military training and instruct Lions in the hope of being able to right the wrongs of their country. But now they found that they were misguided, and were being fed by fands supplied from Moscow. In view of the high-handed action taken by their leader in rounding op the anti-Red Cantonese Generals and disarming their troops, and noting the recent attitude of the Russians towards his, they had reason to believe, they. said, that General Chiang Kai'Shek was absolutely hypnotized by Comraunism.
