CHINA AGAIN IS STIRRED BY CIVIL CONFLICT Factions Study Possible Rewards to Decide Where to Throw Strength. Bn r nit-'l SHANGHAI, April 3.—Undercurrent diplomacy again is the fashion throughout China as various factions look appraisingly at the Nationalist-Wuhan conflict and attempt to learn the pos;Abilities of reward if they should join either tide. Two generals are outstanding among those who watched the conflict along the Anhwei-Hupeh frontier. They are Marshal Feng Yu-Hsiang. so-called Christian general, and Marshal Chang TsungChang, who is fighting the Nanking government for control of Shantung province. Marshal Feng has been holding aloof from Nationalist, troubles since h resigned as minister of war a few weeks ago. The Nationalist government insists he has sided with it and placed his 100,000 men at its disposal. There has been no evidence that Feng has sided with the government, however. Christian General in Seclusion On the contrary. Marshal Feng was reported to have gone into seclusion in a Buddhist xnple at Shensi to consider what side he would take. Marshal Chang Tsung-Chang proved his opposition td Nationalist government affairs by leaving his place of retirement at Dairen, going to Shantung province, and organizing a revolution. He seized Chefoo, and now controls much of the province, although it was believed he would be driven out when the Japanese evacuate the TsingtaoTsinan railway zone. Evacuation Avould enable more Nationalist troops to reach Shantung irom the south. The Nationalist-Wuhan conflict lias thrown the interior of China into such disorder that communications are difficult and only meager and sketchy accounts of the fighting trickle ovit. Those have revealed, among other things, that General Chiang KaiShek's Nationalist army was advancing on the Wuhanites in three columns. Stir I p Trouble The northeast column apparently was making the main attack, the southern column was holding off Kwangsi reinforcements and the middle column, supported by twelve gunboats and several aviation squadrons, was proceeding slowly up the Yangtze river. Cantonese leaders spent several weeks stirring up trouble, and when the conflict finally broke they suddenly denounced the Kwangsite group, executed several extremists in Canton and ordered Kwangsi troops to leave Kwangtung province. The Canton leaders also asked the Nationalists to keep their troops out of the province, but their actions regarding the Kwangsites was accepted as proo’f they had sided with tire Nationalists morally if not with troops.

BiCKEL CITES DANGERS OF PRESS PROPAGANDA News Association Will Aid Trade If Free. Says U. P. Head. Bp t nil! and Press CHICAGO. April 3.—World-wide distribution of news by American press associations will continue to be beneficial to American trade if American press associations remain in the future, as they have in the past, utterly uninfluenced by any form of governmental direction or control. Karl A. Bickel, president of the United Press, said today in an address before the Chicago Association of Commerce. "The United Press is an American propaganda agency," said Bickel, “but it is by no means an American propaganda agency any more than than it is a French or British propaganda agency. The old-fashioned form of a governmental subsidized ‘official’ agency has seen its day.”
