civilians and property is of course an
other matter-and horrible-but bears
only indirectly on the outcome of the
war; while Chinas inability to defend
nom -combatants has brought world op-
probrium upon the enemy. Chinese
leaders compute their trained soldier
dead at one and one-half of Japan's
one, and are satisfied. At that rate
they'll last out.
Resistance on the Shanghai front
depends on a small supply of airplanes
and large supply of heavy ammuni-
ton and bombs, which Chinese do not
make themselves. The planes can be
flown in, but the .hells and bombs
must come in through Hongkong and
the International Concession This is
China's vulnerable point-the point
at which Britain pressing her to &C
cept compromise of Japan des-
perate over sanctions could squeeze
her off.
So while the Chinese resist at one
after another of their defense lines
right-angling the Yangtze. they keep
an anxious eye upon the dealing and
passing at Brussels.
