ALLEGED EVIL DEEDS

The telegram then enumerates the alleged evil deeds of the South- western leaders. In 1931, it is re- called that Generals Chen, Li and Pal organized the two extraordin-

assumed a platform opposed to the Central Government in Nanking. It is further alleged they also sent Mr. Chen Chung-fu to Japan on a mission of a treacherous character. This, it is charged, might renson- ably be considered the immediate factor contributing to the incident of September 18, 1931.

Even a child, the telegram con- tinues, could penetrate the dis- guise of "anti-Japanism” under which the south-western rebels are pushing their military cam- paign against the Central Govern- ment. The telegram goes on to expose alleged negotiations with Japan by Kwangsi leaders for the supply, of Arwis and ammunition and mentiona as proof the fact that many Japanese advisers have been employed by the Kwangal army.

The telegram charges the Can- tonese army commanders with atrocities victimizing all those sus- pected of being loyal to the Cent-

ral Government. It states that over 300 soldiers and ranking. off- cers in the 6th Division, as well as
