QUARREL FLARES UP
CHINA’S GOVERNMENT AND COMMUNISTS MUTUAL ACCUSATIONS CHUNGKING, March 18. China’s Government-Communist quarrel has flared up anew, amid mutual . accusations of unprovoked military assaults and a Communist threat to boycott Government reorganisation. The Communist spokesman, General Chou En-lai, asserted that the Kuomintang, made a decision designed to preserve its long term of oneparty rule of the Government. He said unless errors were corrected, the Communists might not attend the Nanking Constitutional Assembly on May 5, and might decline to join in the Government unity programme, to which all parties recently agreed. Communist generals alleged that Government forces were attacking and attempting to annihilate 50,000 Communists in Hupeh Province and 10,000 Communists in Wangtung Province.
The newspaper Takung Pao meanwhile reported that 20,000 Communists had launched a heavy attack against Szepingkai, a key railway junction midway between Mukden and Changshun. The Government troops’, position was reported to be critical with heavy casualties. Capture of the city would give the Communists virtual control of the Chang-chun-Mukden railway.
