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...
...conquered China, as Chiang did, in a great civil war which raged from Canton to Peiping, six major revolts occasion no appalling dismay. If China were really to be pacified the Generalissimo would have to ride off not in six directions but in sixty, for there were at least that many rascally "generals" insurgent throughout China.

He had been seized by soldiers whom Generalissimo Chiang sent along with Mr. Lo. In view of the extreme remoteness of the province, Chiang's Council of Generals felt justified in ignoring last week's fresh rumors of massacre and insurrection in Sinkiang...
...last year by heading a successful revolt against his uncle, then Governor Liu Wen-hui. Chinese sometimes remark, with but slight exaggeration, that "Szechwan has been in revolt for the last 20 years." Since Nephew Liu seemed to be holding his own against the insurgents Chiang's Council of Generals wisely left him to hold down if he can Uncle Liu's erstwhile seat...
