...series of anti-Red campaigns. But in both right & left reports, Soviet China seemed less a geographical and political reality than a wandering country like Swift's floating Laputa.

These organized themselves in the hinterland under those Soviet auspices which made possible the original conquest of China by the Ningpo Napoleon. In 1934 the bulk of China's insurgent Communists had been coralled by Chiang in Kiangsi Province, and the Generalissimo's officers awaited orders, the execution of which, they confidently told him, would drive the Reds "into the sea"-i. e. down to the South China seacoast where they could be conveniently slaughtered...
