MANCHUKUO NEA END OF BANDITRY Japanese Commander Says Another Year Will See Goal Accomplished. This is the fourth article of series o stx_on Manchukuo by Mr, Keen, correspondent of the New York Herald- Tribune in China BY VICTOR KEEN. (Copyright, 14 New York Tribune, Inc.) HSINKING (Changchun). Manchu- | kuo, December 17.—Pacification of bandits and Chinese volunteers still re- mains Manchukuo's paramount domes- tic problem, although the Japanese Kwantung forces say that during the last six months they have reduced the total number of brigands by more than | half. Lieut. Gen. Kuniaki Koiso, chief of stafl of the Japanese troops in Man- churia, in an interview today confident- ly predicted that Japan's campaign, against banditry in Manchukuo would be completed by the middle of 1933 or at the latest by the end of the year. Gen. Koiso stated that when the Japa- nese drive against bandits started in August of this year the total number of outlaws and anti-Manchukuo troops estimated at 200.000. The figure fi, according to his estimates, has 2en reduced to 80.000. Spi North Manchuria, the Japanese chief of staff informed me, is now compara- tively cleared of enemy forces. At the beginning _of November bandits and anti-Manchukuo soldiers in Heilung- kiang province were estimated at 40.000. Gen. Su Ping-wen, who was in com- mand of the Chinese railways guards stationed along the Chinese Eastern Railway west of Harbin, revolted against the Manchukuo authorities on Septem- ber 27. Blockade Made Effective. From that date the anti-Manchukuo, Railway guards were able to blockade the western section of the Chinese Eastern Railway until December 4, when Gen. Su and about 4,000 of his troops retreated across the Soviet border near Manchuli. Following the defeat of Gen. Su Ping-wen and the scattering of Jarge bandit forces, many of Which drifted into Western Kirin province, Gen. Koiso estimates that there are now only about 10,000 bandits in Heilung- kiang_province. lng jrin province, where the bandits and anti-Manchukuo soldiery are esti- mated at 29,000, there is a strong con- centration of former Kirin troops along the eastern frontier. These anti-Man- chukuo troops. Gen. Koiso pointed out, are better equipped than the bandits and will accordingly be more difficult to pacify. A &mpfiigx; will be under- aken against them next vear. ki The.gumber of bandits in Fengtien provinee is believed to be approximately 21,000. Units of Gen. Tamon’s 2d Di- Vision began a bandit drive on De- cember 13 in the triangular Tregion between the Mukden-Antung of the South Manchuria Rail- way and the main line between Mukden and Dairen. Approximately 10.000 brigands are supposed to be operating in this area, the rest of the total for Fengtien province making their head- quarters in the Liao River Valley, which is west of the Mukden-Dairen Railway line. Gen. Koiso predicted that the ‘present campaign in which the forces | of the 2d Division are participating will . be completed by the end of this month. Propaganda Aids Drive. Gen. Kolso pointed out that Japan's military npernm,ns against bandits are being accompanied by an intensive po- litical and propaganda campaign in the occupied areas. Leaflets explaining the ideals of the"Mnnr!"l;lkun gt;\'er;m::‘\; e dropped from military plan ffie towns and villages are placarded with propaganda posters. Tllustrated posters are extensively used, not only because of their vivid appeal to the eye. but also because many of the Manchukuo farmers can Tead only the simplest Chinese char- cters. o 1 obtained at military headquarters in Hsinking (Changchun) a set of nine illustrated posters which have been dis- tributed throughout Manchukuo. The first depicted & peaceful farm scene. Standing in front of a farm house was 2 Manchukuo farmer and his two chil- dren, each waving & Manchukuo flag In the upper left-hand corner a squad of Japanese soldiers were pursuing a group of fleeing bandits. The Chinese said: “Long live the Manchukuo peo- ple in peace and prosperity!” A second poster showed a Japancse soldier clasping the hand of a Chinese who was displaying the new Manchukuo flag. With the other hand the soldler was crushing two armed bandits. A third poster portrayed a Chinese farmer shaking hands with a Japanese soldier. The caption said: “Thank you for ridding this region of bandits and Chinese volunteers. Now we can co- operate for the good of the country.” ‘An immense serpent was represented a fourth poster, swallowing a Chinese grmer and crushing three others. An avenging sword, typifying the Japanese mflitary, was extended above the ser- t's head. ’e:nother poster, widely distributed in dfitricts where farmers or villagers were suspected of sheltering bandits, shows a Japanese _soldier striking a Chinese farmer who is attempting to hide a group of bandits. The other half of the poster pictures a Japanese soldier congratulating a Chinese farmer who is repelling three bandits. The caption states: “The Japanese soldier is the friend of the Chinese who oppose banditry. but he will treat the farmer who shelters bandits as an enemy. Paint Farmers as Happy. Btill another poster pictures Chang $sueh-liang peeping through a keyhole and gazing anxiously at a parade of Chinese peasants and Manchukuo sol- diery who are conspicuously displaying the Manchukuo flag. Chiang Kai-shek is plucking at the young marshal’s coattails and advising him to give up hope of regaining his lost territory. The next major military campaign in Manchuria will in all likelihood be against Jehol province. All military and civil officials with whom I talked in the Manchukuo capital declared that Jehol is regarded as part of the new state of Manchukuo and that the prov- ince must eventually be “unified.” In- asmuch as the Jehol governor and mil- itary war lord, Gen. Tang Yu-lin, has shown no indications of sharing the destiny of Manchukuo. unification can only be accomplished by force af arms. The Japanese military estimate that 29,000 Chinese volunteer troops are now stationed along the Jehol border. This number does not Include the regular Jehol troops under the command of Tang Yu-lin. The volunteers, accord- ing to the Japanese military, are under Chang Hsueh-liang'’s orders and are receiving military supplies from him. I have heard the number of Japanese troops in Manchuria estimated by Chinese as high as 100,000, but the total figure given by Gen. Koiso is 37,000, including regulars, railway guard battalions and gendarmes. The units include the 14th and 10th Di- visions, & mixed brigade, part of the pd Division and six railway guard bat- nums, The 2d Division will shortly relieved b}r' theJBth Division, which §s being sent from Japan. Gen. Koiso informed me that the Japanese are not planning a campaign Bgainst Jehol for the present, “Unless we are challenged by the Chinese vol- unteers, in which case we will launch » counter attack.” The general went on to say that at present the Japanese do not have a sufficient force concen- trated in Fengtien province for a gen- eral military campaign against Jehol. ‘With the expected early arrival of the 6th Division from Japan, however, the Japanese forces available for an sttack on Jehol will be greatly aug- mented.
