...Fukien near Canton was announced to have "seceded" (TIME, Nov. 27). Last week Fukien's bold rebels dared to claim that they, not Nanking, represent the true Government of all China. Hurling defiance at Generalissimo Chiang they announced that their army will be led by General Tsai Ting-kai, famed commander of the 19th Route Army in its deathless defense of Shanghai (TIME, Feb 22. 1932, et seq.) What is left of the Old 19th, brought up to full strength by new recruits, will fight under General Tsai. More important, the new Fukien Government has as its "brains" that...
...first time a direct and easy access to the sea. Ominous seemed the fact that the Foreign Minister of the Fukien Government is notorious Chen Yu-jen (Eugene Chen), long the Communistically inclined stormy petrel of South China politics. As War Minister the new state has General Tsai Ting-kai, famed commander of the 19th Route Army in its deathless defense of Shanghai (TIME, Feb. 22, 1932).

Jan. 2)- teetered as the Government admitted a $10,000,000 current deficit and Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek demanded of his brother-in-law, Dr. Soong, an additional $18,000,000 to pay his troops...
...guns. Some 40,000 of them boiled down from the mountains, swept a small local army out of their way. Up to meet them swaggered Canton's 19th Route Army, famed for its defense of Shanghai last year against the Japanese, commanded by hollow-cheeked General Tsai Ting-kai. Outnumbered, the 19th Route Army fought for four days last week over broken country, lost more than 2.000 men, two regimental commanders. General Tsai retreated to fortifications near Lungyen, only 100 mi. northwest of the important seaport of Amoy. Falling back again from Lungyen, he called for reinforcements. The Communist...
