...many of these Chinese Communists, mostly farmers, to take some welcome respite and more or less settle down in three large blotches with a total area today of perhaps 80,000 sq. mi. Last week this Red State was spectacularly absorbing many soldiers once commanded by Young Marshal Chang Hsueh-liang, recently kidnapper of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek (TIME, Dec. 21 et seq.) and war lord of Manchuria until the Japanese drove him out (TIME, Sept. 28, 1931).
