Kwangad had planned to adopt conscription for some years. and this scheme is accelerated by the Tecent decision of the Nanking authorities formally.to announce conscription as a means of nation- *al defence. Then Kwangs takes advantage of this ruling and goes ahead to put it into effect.

Allied forces refer to the pro- vincial troops of Hunan, Kwei- chow and Szechuan. The telegram points out that although the Com- munist forces are about 30,000, they will become more dangerous if they can join forces with the Hsiao Beds under- Ho Lung" and Keh. Kweichow and Szechuan are mountainous and densley crowded with forest, and therefore these. two provinces will be a better bunting ground for the Commun- ists than Klangsi or Fukien
