Last week one of Cheng's top agents returned to Formosa from a ao-day visit to guerrilla units along the Fukien coast. A lean-faced, hawk-eyed general officer, he has traveled in disguise to five headquarters directing 10,000 guerrillas. Gist of his report: the guerrillas' morale ranged from good to excellent; the condition of their weapons from fair to good. Their living conditions were difficult (23 oz. of rice a day); their help from the peasants was diminishing somewhat as Communist terrorism increased; their spy work in spotting Chinese Red army movements was excellent...
