CHINESE REDS GET PROVINCE IN MONGOLIA WARLORDS TURN OVER SITVI’AN TO THE COMMUNISTS HONG KONG, Sept. 21 UP) -Chinese warlords in the ng Inner Mongolian province of Juiyuan have revolted against he Nationalist regime amr turned the province over , to the Communists, reports from Oan.on said today. These reports also said that ,he 1,350-ton destroyer Chang Chih flagship of the Nationalist warships blockading the east coast of China smith of Shanghai, had been surrendered to the Communists by a mutinous crew At the same time the Nationalist Central News Agency reported full-scale fighting around unoy, port city and steppingstone to the island of Formosa .1 Fukien province. Tile report indicated the city was surroundid. Gon. Tung Chi-Wu. warlord jovernor of Suiyuan, aand 5S , her leaders were reported to have sent a message to Mao Tse-Tung and other communist leaders pledging the province’s loyalty to the Comnunists. The loss was considered a serious blow to the sagging Nationalist prestige: Some obervers felt it might lead to similar defections elsewhere. Moreover, it was expected to clease a large number of Communists troops from the area round Suiy uan for fighting elsewhere. Suiyuan, lying in northwest Jhina between Ningsia and Jhahar province, represented the nk between China proper and Russian controlled outer Mon;olia. Before the Chang Ghih was irned ever to the Communists, 0 crew members reported to ave revolted and killed five oficers. Two hundred other crew a embers reported to have been oeked below decks before a Communist crew boarded the de.royer to sail it to Shaanghai. The Chang Chih was built by he Japanese and taken over by he Nationalists after the war. At Amoy the Comm'unists were sported to have thrown three miles a.nd two artillery corps ito the battle for the city. But he Nationalists were said to be resisting strongly. As the Nationalists suffered he fresh blows on the military r.U political fronts, Generalismo Chiang Kai-Shek blamed foreign imperialism'' for most of China's troubles. The Nationalist Centi al News Agency reported from Chungking that the Chinese eader issued a 9.000-word statement demanding that the government Kuomintang party refotm "as the only sure means wihere>y the Chinese Reds can be defeated and the salvation of the nation accomplished." Ohiang said the Kuomintang aimed at completion of leader Sun Yat-Sew's revolution but but was “time and again obstructed by foreign Imperialism which showed a desire to keep China in a Semi-colonial state ind forever enslave the Chinese people."
