The documents seized numbered over 200 and showed a network of Communist organisa- tions thrown all over China. There is no doubt that the activities were financed and directed by the Third International at Moscow.

Communist "cells" had been ex. fablished among the Government troops at the various arsenals and plans were being elaborated for the creation of labour troubles throughout China and particularly in Shanghai, Evidence was furnished to show that the expen- diture of the Shanghai branch of the organisation alone was more than $130,000 a month. It was also revealed that Nouless, under various affases, had deposited large sums in various Shanghai hanks.

The documents were in English, German, Russian, Japanese and Chinese. The majority dealt with China Others. refered to Koren, the Philippines, Indo-China, the Straits Settlements and Formosu.
