“June 1, 4 p.m. Local conditions very critical. Officials continually going and coming between Canton, Hongkong and Swatow. Yunnanese entrenching near White Clouds Mountain with intention resisting General Hsu’s army now reported returning from Swatow. Government has issued denial it is Communist but shows every indication determination to fight.”
