Hhen pinions srs oiprontd in (hfio (tumm thv art ibu sf Newspaper I oin analysis aod not acccssartiy of this newspaper.) Wfuri NATIONALISTS: Half Remains Any hope the western world may have had that the march of communism in the Far East had been checked vanished as Chiang Kai-sh- t k ordered the evacuation of Hainan island Thus, one half of Nationalist China became Communist territory, and the West listened for the first rumors of the Invasion of Formosa. It was an embarrassing defeat for the Nationalists, who, having previously boasted of victories over the invaders, found it necessary to report in the next breath complete defeat Observers said the Nationalists simply "counted their chickens" before they hatched, and, that the Hainan command deliberately put out false news to prevent panic and enable prominent leaders to flee the island. Whatever the cause, General Chiang found himself minus five armies, totaling some 125,000 men, 13,500 square miles of territory, and rich deposits of Iron ore, coal and petroleum. MOST surprising angle In the Nationalist's defeat, in the eyes of western military men, was the small number of compartively Communist invaders, estimated at to 15,000 men. Chlang'g 10.000 armies outnumbered them almost 10 to 1. Speculation was immediately rampant on possible exaggerated Formosa defenses. Further, in some quarters, the fall of Hainan was called the begmnuig of the end of Nationalist China.
