By LAVON GARD NER SIMON SEN Civil wars in China usually start in the interio r places and natura lly there is bound to be danger in the areas affected by advanc ing and retreat ing armies . "China Warns Americ ans to Flee." These head lines were printed some time ago. Anyon e reading a headline like that in the U. S. A. is liable to get the idea all Americ ans ought to run away from China. But the truth is, Kancho w is a little village about 300 miles inland from Foocho w, which in turn is 1000 miles south of Shangh ai, and the Americ ans warned to flee are a handfu l of crazy missionari es, who typical of their race J.re always in some kind of hot water '>r the other. There are foreign misJionari es all over the place, and these ue the people who are a cause of ~reat worry to their respect ive con>uls. Whene ver impend ing war f are is 'xpecte d, their neares t consuls alw-ays warn them td evacua te to safe >reaty( trading ) ports but every now md then some of them get bullhead-ed and get caught in the trouble -and we think it serves them right if they want to be so obstina te. The recogn ized Nation alists gov~rnment is located at Nankin g. Genera! Chiang Kai-Sh ek is comma nderin-chie f of the Nation alist forces. (They call him genera l, but we think 1. lieuten ant in the u. s. Marine corps ·.mows more about fightin g than he .:loes.) Well, about five months ago, 1. genera l named Yen Hhi-sh an, controlling the provinc e of Chihli, and <mother genera l (you see, they are allJ '{enera ls), govern ing the provinc es of Shanai , got togeth er with the ambition of throwi ng over the presen t Nankin g regime and startin g a new govern ment of their own in Peking , old capital of China. Needle ss to say, they were not inspire d by patriot ism of any kind, but just plain greed for more powers so they could garner in more taxes. With the armies of both faction s at the front, the Comm unists have found it easy to organiz e and make hay while the sun shines, culmin ating in the sackin g and looting of Changs ha, from where they were, howeve r, finally driven off. Here it will not be amiss to remark that Kancho w was affecte d by a Comm unist menace of this kind as were several other remote spots in interio r China. And llow has all this affecte d Shangh ai? ~~ot a bit, except that both the Chinese author ities in the Interna tional Settlem ent and the French Conces sions have kept a cautiou s watch- andwait attitud e. Hanko w feared they might have an invasio n, it being an import ant trading port, with heavy investm ents of British and Americ an capital ; so, of course, the author ities lost no time in sendin g heavy reintorcem ents of gunboa ts up there. The British even took the drastic step of sendin g up four compan ies of "Green Howar ds" soldier s for protect ion purposes, but no trouble develop ed. It is hoped by everyo ne in China that as soon as peace as restore d again that the Chines e gove~nment will take stern measur es to Wlpe out commu nism for good.
