It is understood that next spring, instructors and officers will come from Russia who will lead a Red Army into Kiangsi and Hunan, Tt is even reported that these armies will eventually go into Kuangsi and will conduct' a propaganda among the people of Indo-China. The ultimate. ob-Jective is not north China, as the Chinese Government supposes, but India by way of China. The ultimate object is to use Chinese troops and the resources of the province of Kuangtung to make trouble for Britain in India.
The ultimate objective of the Soviet Government in Canton is one of the explanations as to why the Bolsheviks let the Shanghai Unions and now the Shanghai Seamen's Union down. It was no longer necessary to support them as the orientation of the Government was in another direction. These unions were expected to shift for themselves, the parent organization maintaining that enough had been done for them to show them how to get along without assistance. Practically, there is no longer any Bolsheik influence in the labour organizations in Shanghai, and the seamen's strike, the last to continue, does continue only because the merchant supporters of the strikers fear "to lose face." The strike would end to-morrow if the Chinese General Chamber of Commerce and the strike fund organizations ceased to pay strike pay and announced that they would make no further appeals for strike pay.
