...government created special courts and special prosecutors in the showcase Manchurian industrial centers of Shenyang (Mukden) and Anshan, and along the country's principal railways, to detect and punish "counterrevolutionary sabotage," espionage and willful inefficiency (Peking People's Daily, March...
