An Expert
Appraises
The War
BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert

Reopening the Burma road should
make no essential difference to the
military situation in China. The
Japanese have anticipated the pos
sible effect by establishing air
bases on the French 1ndo-China
frontier, whence their airmen
ought easily to be able to bomb
Chinese sections of the Burma
road. 200 miles away.
The British action is a renewed
gesture Of sympathy for China,
but there is no military reason
for the Japanese to consider the
move as a belligerent act.
The Japanese may be said
to command the Burma road
from the air, and. even II this
were not so, shipments OF
munitions 10 China through
Burma cannot be In major
quantities. The war In Europe
demands that most war sup
plies be kept there.
II Japan were to use the re-
opening of the Burma road as a
reason for increasing Anglo-Jap-
anese tension, II would indicate
existence of influences at Tokyo
desiring to challenge Great Britain
at the earliest moment.
BY next year the British will
have completed all Of their five
new 35,000-ton battleships, of the
King George v class, the most
powerful warships in the world,
far superior to any in the Jap
anese navy. Several of the new
British vessels already may be
in service.
Before the British are pre-
pared to send n fighting fleet
TO the Orient. the Japanese
might take the chance of
battle. hoping events In Eur
ope would so develop as to
compel Great Britain 10 keep
her entire first line strength
at home. But serious hazards
are attached 20 any such pol
Icy, including uncertainties
which surely exist In Tokyo
concerning the possible atti-
tude of the United States.
It would seem that natural eau
ton would cause the Japanese to
check any impetuous urgings that
the Burma road issue be made a
cause for war. Some temporary
gain against Britain in the Orient
might result II Japan chose to
fight. But 1t would be difficult
for Japan's naval strategists to
envisage continuous offensive OPP
erations.
To risk the gains Japan has
made since its entry into modern
ism, by becoming obedient to the
wishes of Hitler and Mussolini. is
not consistent with Jspan's past.
Cautious waiting. at this critical
time, is Jspan's best policy. from
every standpoint of military and
naval strategy. Any other attitude
by the Japanese would indicate
reckless disregard of their coun-
try's future.

TRUCK UPSETS ON
STREET CORNER

According to Ercyle d. Tewks-
bury. Flint, who said he followed
O'Brien from a restaurant near
Chelsea to the scene of the accident,
the driver was speeding and flash
ing his spotlight from side TO side
OF the road most of the way. This
morning O'Brien stated that fumes
from a broken gas-line connection
had entered the cab of his truck
and that he returned from the
Chelsea restaurant to Ypsilanti in
an attempt to get the truck to its
home base for repairs. He was sup
posed to have left Detroit for Chi
cago at S p. m.
The trailer, loaded with empty
bottles, did not spill its cargo when
it overturned, but presented diff
cult problem to the wrecking crew
this morning who were busy with
tow cables and power winches for
hours. Traffic was routed to Cross
and Emmett SITS.
O'Brien was fined s25 and his
chauffeur's license was endorsed by
