...Generalissimo Chiang is reported to be up-country "fighting Chinese Communists" against whom ''his victories have been many" (TIME, Feb. 24). My father is living in this up-country section-his residence for thirty years -in its most Communist-infested area. He has escaped from the Communists twice within the last twelve months, once in one of Chiang Kai-shek's military planes-piloted by a young Iowan-and once afoot, mere yards ahead of the Red vanguard. His latest letter, dated in January, warns me that despite all I may read, "no Communist army...
Last week Nanking's Premier and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek got a telegram from Inner Mongolia that cheered him. It purported to be from one Yun Chih-hsien, who claimed that he was leading a great rebellion against Prince Te. "My men are patriots," Yun trumpeted, "and absolutely opposed to Prince Te's pro-Japanese policy."

The shaking mountains hurled the little Lolo citadels from their peaks into the valleys, like shot-putters at practice. They threw avalanches into the gorges of the tributary Yangtze rivers. For five hours Chiang's cherished line of last defense undulated and crumbled. It was a week before the first meager tidings trickled down the Yangtze to Nanking...
...seriously dismayed by several thousand dead Lolos, Generalissimo Chiang concentrated on the probabilities of Japan's policy in China for the new year. Last week he was provided with a sufficiently obvious clue. A potent Japanese advocate of moderation has been wise old Count Nobuaki Makino. As Lord Keeper of the Privy Seal for ten years, trusted adviser and old friend to Emperor Hirohito, he has frequently stood off the more rabid proposals of the militarists. He is a standard name on every Japanese patriot's list marked for assassination, has been bombed twice. Last week Count Makino...
