have swept from Western Chekiang
province into Kiangsi province after
capturing two Western Chekiang
cities, Domei said today, while troops
driving down Kiangsi province from
the north have taken the walled
city of Nancheng
The crossing of the Chekiang-
Kiangsi border was made last night
by troops operating on front more
than 80 miles wide, it said.
The two Western Chekiang cities
which fell were Changshan and
Kiangshan, 1914 miles apart, which
lie about so miles southwest OF
Chuhsien.
Nancheng Under Full Control.
Nancheng. nearly 95 miles south
east of Nanchang and 125 miles
southwest of the sector where
the Chekiang -Kiangsi border was
crossed, was reported brought under
complete control of Japanese forces
this morning
The sweep into Kiangsi from the
east considerably narrowed the
space between the japanese col
umns driving along the Chekiang-
Kiangsi Railway from east and west,

captured Tengpu, Is miles east of

Domei said the capture OF Kiang-

in Chekiang, was marked by rout
of the Chinese defenders, who fed
into the nearby hills.

tant railway station of Shanghai

military installations were smashed.
Pucheng Heavily Bombed.
Pucheng in northern Fukien

Oomei said.
The japanese drive to Man,

zone, suggests that strong forces
are swinging deep into Kiangsi
to cut off any retreat southwark
OF the Chinese now battling to
. hold the dwindling remainder of
: the railway in their hands. Per-
haps the southern columns would
attempt junction with japanese
forces which have been trying,
thus far with little success, to
gain foothold on the Fukien
Province coastD
Domei also reported successful
operations against Chinese regulars
and Communist troops in Northern
Honan, where 10000 were said to
have been encircled at Linhsien,
and Central Hopeh. where the head
quarters of a Chinese Communist
division was reported captured
southeast Of Paoting.
The latter was described as

the war area.
1t would probably be easy
enough if Nazi methods were
followed. The aliens wou d
merely be loaded into trucks
and hauled away and the
American born with them. But
civilian California and the ar
my are trying to do this job as
humanely as possible, an d
meantime local domestic preju-
dices and domestic problems
arising from the removal of the
Japs, have led to delay, end
less committee meetings, bick-
ering, arguing and name-call-
ing. The Jap problem is in ev-
erybody's hair.
The light is beginning to
dawn, however, and the real
exodus should soon be under
way. Meantime, many - pos
sibly hundreds - of Ameri-
can born Japanese have al
ready gone. Thousands of dol
lars worth OF unpicked vege-
table crops and flowers have
been left shriveling in the
fields. The cars and trucks OF
these Japanese farmers, who
liquidated their lea ses and
drove away, are headed mostly
for the sugar-beet section OF
Colorado.
There, they expect to re-es-
tablish themselves, with the
hope Of returning to California
at the end of the war. They rep
resent the element that is easy
to handle, but responsibility
for the great mass falls upon
the community.
And while authorities and
committees are struggling with
details to see that every Jap
who surrenders a business or
a farm receives proper equity
each day new arrests of sus-
pected aliens are made, and the
fear Of widespread sabotage
becomes greater and greater.

Consistency
i'm Censorship
il Objective

WASHINGTON, March Is
R - Rep. Bender (R-Ohio)
wants consistency in wartime
censorship. The present kind, he
says, Is driving American news
paper correspondents into pre-
mature senility."
He told the House in q speech
yesterday that for two months
byron Price has been carrying
on bravely as chief of our CEN
sorship. But despite his efforts,
the American people continue to
be mystified."
Citing cases, Bender said the
news Of the arrival of American
troops in Northern Ireland twas
proclaimed to the world
but 1t required something like
painful surgery to dig out the
information that our boys cam =
from the Middle West. for some
reason the Army seemed to be-
lieve that this was a military
secret" He said the Army pro-
curement division t.enied per-
mission to print information on
new aircraft fsctories, but
within q few hours from the
refusal, a Washington official
gave out the entire story per-
sonally."
Despite the basic plan for vol
untary censorship by publishers,
Bender said "the Army has
threatened to use the 1927 es-
pionage act to enforce its views
on what may and what may not
be printed"
