WORK OF REDS IN CHINA
SECRET SOCIETIES STRANGE BARBARISMS By Cable.—Press Association.—Copyright LONDON, Tuesday. The Paris correspondent, of the Daily Mail reports that the Communist member of the Chamber of Deputies, M. Doriot, who recently returned unexpectedly from China, and who in his absence had been sentenced to 18 months’ imprisonment for anti-militar-ist propaganda, has revealed how Chinese secret societies are enrolled by the Bolsheviks to fight Western civilisation. M. Doriot says the Reds, aided by the Cantonese at Hankow, have now joined the Moscow Reds. Every member must undergo 40 days of sacred exercise, when he is beaten with bamboo canes to test his powers of physical resistance. These tests are supposed to show that a candidate for full Bolshevik honours is worthy to be a soldier of the Red army.
