AIR OFFENSE
WEAK IN ASIA
Bombing Declared Over
rated as Weapon by
Foreign Observers
By WELDON JAMES
limited Press Staff Correspondent

CANTON, May 9. (UP).-Ex-
perience of the Japanese ar
force, particularly in South CHINA
again has shown that aerial Doillp-
ing is a greatly over-rated oiien-
sive weapon in modern wa rlale.
That is the conclusion or eVels
one of several foreign military
observers, both official and unoi ,
fetal. interviewed by the United
Press here, in the heart OF sec
ton bombed necessarily for more
than eight months.
I'm the South China campaign
as well as throughout China, there
are three facts made clearer than
ever" one observer declared.
"They are % bombing as an
offensive weapon has been highly
over-rated not only in the Sunday
supplements but by air force OH
cials as well; CIV temporary de-
ranoement of communication
lines and traffic facilities is the
net result of thousands of bombs
dropped in this area, indicating
that permanent destruction by
aerial bombing alone is impossi-
bile. (3D instead of demoralizing
the civilian population, bombing
definitely intensifies the spirit Of
resistance.
Continuing, the same observer
declared that "the chief objective
of the Japanese air force in this
area has been to destroy COM
munications between Hong Kong,
Canton and Hankow - but what
have they done? In bombing vir-
tually undefended lines the best
results to date have been stopping
traffic on the Canton-HankOw
railway for three days, on the
Canton-Kowloon for two"
In other respects, observers
agreed, the air force has been of
incalculable value to the japanese
-N) for long range tactical OBJ
servation, as an auxiliary arm Of
the army, (2) in accommodating
for combat purposes, as an indie
pendent fighting unit, (3) for To-
cal technical observation in d.
recing artillery fire, and ca for
further demoralizing retreating
Chinese troops by machine gum
ming and bombing simultaneously
with the advance of the Japanese
infantry.

planned to raise Sl0,700.000 by Il

entire issue for resale. The bub-

Colonel Charles Clifton, who Tor
20 years prior to his death in
1929 was president of the Nation

FIRST MODEL IN 1901
A skeptical public got its
glimpse of the company's tnst
gasoline model-the Pierce Mo-
torette--in 1901. 1t was a sue
cess. and the company decided to
abandon bicycles and bird cages
and concentrate on automobile
making.
From the beginning, Pierce cars
were quality cars, which the aver
ape man could not afford to buy.
When mass production technique
and low prices came to the indus
try, Pierce continued to produce
cars on Il handwork basis. Some
custom-built models were sold for
as high as $4,000.
The company's greatest pros
pcrity came during the war when
its plant, employing more than
5000 men, turned out trucks for
the Allied armies at an amazing
rate of speed.

In 1886, with the demand for
quality cars still dormant, Pierce
attempted to capitalize on the
