churia, has not been officially
declared. It is carried on in
secret, and behind the mask
of Chang Kai Shek. But the fact re-
mains, the mainstay of the present
war by the Chang Kai Shek's
forces against the Chinese Soviets
is the American military assistance,
chiefly in the form of bombing
planes and skilled military ayiators.
For weeks, now, the American
publication in China, THE China
Weekly Review" has been adver-
Using the arrival of the Boeing
Type P-26 fightes, "the fastest and
most formidable pursuit plane ever

In this manner, the Roosevelt
government not only provides
Chang Kai Shek with the ma
chimes of mass destruction and
murder, but with the u. S. Army
trained instructors to teach the
Chinese aviators how to use them
against Soviet villages and the Red
Army.
"The planes" continues Mr. Lii
leo, have literally become the
backbone of the anti-Communist
drive"
Hence, the Roosevelt government
is literally the backbone of the war
against the Chinese Soviets.
THE Senate Arms Inquiry brought
l out the fact that the $40,00o,000
so-called wheat and cotton loan
granted by The Roosevelt regime to

The latest Boeing Type P-26
fighting plane is specifically de-

"This fighter" says the China
Weekly Review, els equipped with a
Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine OF
the latest type, supercharged to
500 h. p at 1000 feet altitude. Its
performance is unexcelled by any
standard type fighter, since it has
a top speed of 235 miles per hour

tude in only Az minutes. One OF
the most outstanding features is its
remarkable range, which is over
LOO miles. The range is accom-
