1, The Ankuochun Government in Peking.
2. The Nationalist Government, in Nanking, 8. The Anti-Communist Government in Hankow.

5., The Szechuan-Yunnan- Ku: chow Alliance being formed by Marshal Wa Pei-fu.

Each. has' the "serious problem of the repudiation of its authority by acts of the very officials which constitute it. Euch is faced with the immediate. danger of desertion by important military! elements, Each has sapped the financial resources of its territory until the people cannot pay any more. Each believes tha month of August will bring either a military victory which remove the dangers of immediate] disintegration or actual eclipse before some stronger military power.

He, of! course, wants a Hankow expedition Nanking, because that. will give him an excuse to enter Hnn-Kew and to occupy" the Hanyang Arsenal.
