NEWSPAPERMEN'S TOUR OF KIANGSI

International Journalists Visit War Areas

(From Our Own Correspondent)

Shanghai, February 21. When Government troops marched into Juikin in the early part of November last year, it required 'no unduly sanguine op- thmist to write down that event as a historic landmark in the struggle of Communism for existence and political supremacy in China. That strategic city had been a veritable Red stronghold for the best part of the seven years. Save for a brief period, - when the 18th Route Army entered Jaikin In September 1931, this Klangsi city had been maintained practically impregnable, and enjoyed the distinction of being capital of the so-called "Soviet "Republic of China. This fall of Juikin meant not only the extermination of Communism in Kingst, but also the be- ginning of the end of Commuism in China, even though the 'death agonles may be protracted for some time by external and other factors over which the National Government has no con- trol. Exactly two months after the Red armies had sounded the

pre-qu-peut, and fed to healthier parts, the Nanchang Mili- \ tary Headquarters and the Walchlaopu deemed it an appropriate. moment to conduct a representive party of international news- paper representives over the scenes of past warfare and Red devastation. So much pro-Sorlet propaganda in books and fal sified reports had been going around the world that it was felt necessary that some immediate refutation should be forthcom- ing from independent observers.
