From Independent reports. it is learned that the Communists are Pressed by the Nanking forces from the North and are hoping to flee to Kwelchow and Szechuen via Southern Klangsi and Southern Human. In going "westward the Reds have to pass through an area garrisoned by troops of the First Group Army.

It is possible that the Commun- 1sts are trying to break into the Cantariese lines with the object of securing foodstuffs, medicine, and salt which they lack. There is no likelihood for the attackers to reach Kwangtung, whose author!- tes are championing ruthless sup- pression of Communism for the past two and a half years.
