The decrease of communist in- fluence in Klangsi Province, attri- buted at Nanchang by the surren- der of the Communist leader. is due firstly to thousands of inba-. bitants in the Red districts being sympathetic to the Government forces, secondly to the Red Army's difficulties to obtain food, am- munition and medical supplies from elsewhere, and thirdly to the Red army ranks being depleted because of young men evading et- listment by fleeing from the Red
