THIS IS UNEVALUATED INFORMATION
As of November 1919 there were three Vietnemese anti-Viet 'Minh political
groups active in South China: (a) the Viet Nan Quoc Dan Dang, composed of
b o groups representing on the one hand Vu Hong 1Ohanh, and on the other
hand Nguyen Thong Tam; (b) the Phut: Quoc represented by Hoang Nam Hung;
and (c) the Dong Minh Hoi represeWued by Nguyen Hai Than. These political
groups are anti Viet !Vnh but do not have any real power, either political
or military. Their parties' are not solidified or consolidated. Members
frequently disagree among themselv=os. These parties are almost totally
without popular support and represent little more than the leaders them-
selves who work mainly for their personal interests rather than for t he
interest of the party or for a definite political ideal.
2,, Although these parties are united .1n opposition to the Viet Minh, their
nfiok.i is not solid and does not form a political front in the true sense
of the word. However,, a form of front does exist,, although weak, under
the direction of Luu Due Trung, T_r November, Luu Due Trung was shuttling
between the island of Hainan and the areas of Kvrangsi under the control of
PAT Chung Hsi. He served as direct liaison between the Chinese Nationalists
and the three exile anti Viet ;,Iinh Vietnamese parties (the VNQDD; Phuc Quoc,
and D!ii1I).
Vu Hong Khanh of the VNQDD remained in Kwangsi but, was represented with Lmz
Duc Trung by his assistant, Vu Xuar. Tung. Nguyen Tuong Tam, who remained
in Hong Kong, sent three of his assistants to help Luu Due Trung; Nguyen
Van I,e, Nguyen Van Hung, and. Long.
Nguyen Hai Than of the D.LiOH. remained in Canton after the fall of that
city to the Chinese Communists. However, he sent Ta Nguyen Hoi,, a member
of the Dsr .HO, to assist Luu Due Tr'ing.
r. Vuong Minh Son, spokesman of the Prue Quoc, was sent to Luu Duc Trung by
Hoang Nam Hung. After remaining with Luu Due Trung for several months,
Vuong Minh Son succeeded in obtaining a certain amount of money from him.
Vuong 1:2tnh Son then retired from the scene to stay in Canton with his two
wives.. Hoang Nan Hung may occasior)ally be in direct contact with Lou Duo
Trung. Hung has also sent another member of the Phuc Quoc, Nong Quoc Long,
to Indochina to offer the services of the Phuc Quoc to Bao Dai.
