Although Nanking news reports try to speak of “victory” and “ad- vances” it is clear that Chiang Kai- el: has been out-generaled by aeng. While Nanking was making all efforts to defend Chengchow North Honan, Feng’s forces from Shensi have been driving around Chiang’s left through Hupeh, while keeping Nanking’s forces occupied at Chengchow and Tengfeng. Now Nanking suddenly finds Feng’s army within 170 miles of Hankow, which is denuded of troops, all but the crack Whampoa cadets from Canton having been sent earlier to North Honan, Chiang Kai-shek, who is in com- | mand at Hsuchow, keeps carefully in an armored train and surrounded by bodyguards. But he has brought up his last reserves from Anhui, hit communications are endangered by raiding parties trying to cut the in| Peking-Hankow railway, and has been forced to order the Whompoa cadets out into Hupeh to meet Feng’s drive approaching from Siangyang along the Han River, while retreating his main force back jto the South to save Hankow. But by weakening his forces in the | North, Chiang Kai-shek may be driven out of Chengchow, a crush- ling loss. All effort is made to keep up ap-| pearances, no wounded being sent to Hankow, but left to die miserably in small villages near the battle-| fields. Although Nanking reported 20,000 captured at Tengfeng, only 1,500. appeared for exhibiting at Hankow. | | | | eas (Wireless By Imprecorr) | MOSCOW, Nov. 20. — Comment- ing on the war among the Chinese | generals, the “Pravda” declares that | it is a case of “dog eat dog,” and} that only opportunists can term any of the quarreling groups “progres- sive.” All generals represent groups | of the bourgeois and, feudalist | counter-revolution, but their strug- | gles are weakening the basis of the | counter-revolution. Attempt to Disarm Mexican Workers . Fought by Red Aid MEXICO CITY, Mexico (By Mail)—The International Red Aid, Mexican section, is fighting against widespread persecution of workers d peasants by the government. Yqily the government becomes more ald more the open tool of foreign imperialism and the reactionary land owners. Foremost is the attempt of the petty-bourgeois Mexican govern- ment, under the leadership of the Rubio-Gil governments to affect a total disarmament of the peasantry. The Red Aid, with the co-operation of the Peasants’ League and the Communist Party, is vigorously bat- {ling against this attempt to insure the subjection of the Mexican masses. Comrade Lamberto Sibillini was deported to Spain, into the hands of Primo de Rivera, where he will meet severe punishment.

Soviet Union to Push Technical Progress MOSCOW, Nov. 20.—“It is the object of the U.S.S.R. to catch up with and overtake the foremost cap- italist countries in technical and economic respects within the briefest historical period,” says a resolution adopted by the Central Committee of the Communist Party.

Spe- cial loans and credits, as well as pensions and medial treatment will be provided for them. NEWS FLASHES STRIKE IN POLISH PRISON.
