RED MENACE SEEN IN AGA IS REVOLT INST FRENCH HANOI, French Indo-China, July 15—The Viet-Nam-Quoc-Dan-Dang and the Viet-Nam-Cong-Dan-Dang, the chief native political parties, joining against Prench rule, are blamed by officials for the recent uprisings here. Nearly seventy lives were lost and several hundred persons wound- ed. Among the latter were five Eu- Topeans. Translated into English, the fore- going means that the nationalists and the communists, in spite of their entirely different political programs, formed a coalition to make life miserable for the hand- ful of Frenchmen governing 20,000,~ 000 Annamites and Tonkinese. “Union for disorder,” the French _leaders here call the truce between the former warring parties. Heretofore the communists while showing great enthusiasm in their demands for abolition of the tax on rice and reduction of costs of living, seemed to lack the sinews of war to organize open rebellion. But since their union with the nation- alists they have acquired arms and ammunition and their attack upon Vinh-Long, fifty miles southwest of Saigofi, was made with determi- nation and military cohesion. “You must refuse to pay the tax and allow yourself to be arrested in groups,” were instructions hand- ed down by the leaders t6 the mani- festants. Nearly all the leaders of the Viet- Nam-Quoc-Dan-Dang—the nation- alists—are behind the bars, but the movement gathered momencum with each arrest.
