1. The Red Spear Society has mainly organized and is carrying out an anti-
Communist revolt in Honan, which was motivated by local reaction to Communist
misgovernment. The revolt is not inspired by the Kuomintang (KN~T~, although
the KMT is trying to exploit it.
2, The revolt has been aided by-the fact that the. Communists have begun to
move many Honan Communist officials to South China, and to replace them i~~'th
local people. These local officials, who are in touch with the Communist
authorities in charge of punitive action against the Red Spear Society,. warn
the society when such action is planned.
