March 29, 1947 - New York Times

Formosa killings are put at 10,000
福爾摩沙共有一萬人被殺

Foreigners say the Chinese slaughtered demonstrators without provocation
Nanking, March 28, Foreigners who have just returned to China from Formosa
corroborate reports of wholesale slaughter by Chinese troops and police
during anti-Government demonstrations a month ago.

3月28日南京電，外國人士表示，中國屠殺沒有挑釁行為的示威者。剛剛由福爾摩沙返回
中國的外國人士證實中國軍隊與警察一個月前在反政府示威活動中展開大屠殺。

These witnesses estimate that 10,000 Formosans were killed by the Chinese
armed forces. The killings were described as "completely unjustified" in view
of the nature of the demonstrations.

這些見證人估計大約有一萬名福爾摩沙人遭到中國軍隊屠殺。以示威活動的態勢看來，屠
殺被形容為「毫無必要的」。

The anti-Government demonstrations were said to have been by unarmed persons
whose intentions were peaceful. Every foreign report to Nanking denies
charges that Communists or Japanese inspired or organized the parades.

參與反政府示威的是一群手無寸鐵，以和平為意念的百姓，所有外電報導都否認有共產黨
或日本人鼓動或組織示威遊行。

Foreigners who left Formosa a few days ago say that an uneasy peace had been
established almost everywhere, but executions and arrests continued. Many
Formosans were said to have fled to the hills fearing they would be killed if
they returned to their homes.

幾天前剛離開福爾摩沙的外國人士表示，各地已經確立緊張的表面平靜，但是槍決與逮捕
仍然持續進行。許多福爾摩沙人已經逃到山中，他們擔心一旦回到家中就會遭到殺害。


Three Days of Slaughter:
三日屠殺

An American who had just arrived in China from Taihoku said that troops from
the mainland arrived there March 7 and indulged in three days of
indiscriminate killing and looting. For a time everyone seen on the streets
was shot at, homes were broken into and occupants killed. In the poorer
sections the streets were said to have been littered with dead. There were
instances of beheadings and mutilation of bodies, and women were raped, the
American said.



Two foreign women, who were near at Pingtung near Takao, called the actions
of the Chinese soldiers there a "massacre." They said unarmed Formosans took
over the administration of the town peacefully on March 4 and used the local
radio station to caution against violence.

兩位接近屏東地區的外籍女士稱中國軍人的行為「大屠殺」，他們說，沒有武裝的福爾摩
沙人在三月四號和平的佔領市政府，並用廣播要求大家不要使用暴力。

Chinese were well received and invited to lunch with the Formosan leaders.
Later a bigger group of soldiers came and launched a sweep through the
streets. The people were machine gunned. Groups were rounded up and executed.
The man who had served as the town's spokesman was killed. His body was left
for a day in a park and no one was permitted to remove it.



A Briton described similar events at Takao, where unarmed Formosans had taken
over the running of the city. He said that after several days Chinese
soldiers from an outlying fort deployed through the streets killing hundreds
with machine-guns and rifles and raping and looting. Formosan leaders were
thrown into prison, many bound with thin wire that cut deep into the flesh.




Leaflets Trapped Many
許多人被傳單所騙

The foreign witnesses reported that leaflets signed with the name of
Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek promising leniency, and urging all who had fled
to return, were dropped from airplanes. As a result many came back to be
imprisoned or executed. "There seemed to be a policy of killing off all the
best people," one foreigner asserted. The foreigners' stories are fully
supported by reports of every important foreign embassy or legation in
Nanking.

外國見證人表示，飛機灑下一張由蔣介石簽名，保證寬大，力勸所有
在逃難的人返回家園的傳單，結果許多人回家後遭到逮捕與槍決。一位外
籍人士補充，看來有個政策打算殺害所有的菁英，這些外籍人士的故事得到
所有重要外國使館與南京官方的證實。

Formosans are reported to be seeking United Nations' action on their case.
Some have approached foreign consuls to ask that Formosa be put under the
jurisdiction of Allied Supreme Command or be made an American protectorate.
Formosan hostility to the mainland Chinese has deepened. Two women who
described events at Pingtung said that when Formosans assembled to take over
the administration of the town they sang "The Star Spangled Banner."
