bating the Comsaniat forces on the island, but the plan failed ea n result
of the rslnsa~ of Taiwea Training Heedquartere t:. oooparats. When Chien
Chi-clang (164, 5641, 50393 became governor of Hainan, the matter was
again ooasidered, but ores again shelved heaeuee of the lack of ecccmmoda-
tioae at the Bsnq-shnu?Trniaing Center.
81aoe tho fall of Nan-ching (Aanking) and other reverses, the plan
was reoonaiderod and adopted. Training offiaere were subsagnently abut
tea 2u-lie to train sad i~nat theo:- men into the regular army. The trek
we g~vatly facilitated by their paroviaae military services. So?e of these
men are now being sent to &usng-shoo (Gaston) to act ne training cadre for
other troops.

tions. Therefore, he aoneladed that there was vero litt:.s hope Chet Chen
