Inner Mongolia was the bloody scene of a furious contest between Generals Tang Yulin and Liu Kwei-tang, reported in dispatches to have devastated the eastern part of the Province of Chahar. But was not this, after all, their "private war"? The Council of Generals took that view. Generalissimo Chiang had neatly solved, they felt, the larger issue presented when Mongol generals under Prince Teh Wang raised the standard of Inner Mongolia for Inner Mongolians (TIME, Oct. 23). To Inner Mongolia the Nanking Government thereupon sent an envoy who ''granted local self-government," but persuaded the Inner Mongols...

With 300,000 Nanking soldiers in the field and ready to begin the anti-Red drive under Generalissimo Chiang's personal leadership last week, he suddenly summoned all his generals and advisers to a conference at Nanchang, his field headquarters in Kiangsi facing the Soviet Sore Spots.

Canton gave the Council of Generals pause. It is China's fourth largest city and the "Mother of Revolutions." Generalissimo Chiang got his start in Canton under "China's George Washington," the late sainted Dr. Sun Yatsen. It was from Canton that Chiang marched north to conquer all China-partly with the aid of Russian and Chinese propagandists trained in Moscow who fomented disunion in his Army's path. Marching on to victory, the Generalissimo paid scant attention for several years to the seeds of Sovietism which sprouted and grew strong among Chinese in his wake...
