Seem SLOWed Up
But Keep Going

Hence, the Nipponese back
door" invasion of China by the
Burma road into Yunnan Province.
The obstacles TO this drive posed
by rugged terrain are formidable,
and for the moment the Chinese
seem to have the enemy thrust
slowed up.
However, the Japanese offensive
on Yunnan would be immensely
more effective IL coupled with a
drive from the opposite direction
with other Japanese forces ham,
mering their way along the
YangtZe River valley from eastern
China.
Thus the most gigantic pincers
movement in the history of war
fare would be formed with Chung
king-the capital of free China
as the meaty nut for its closing
laws.

Decides Siberia
Can Wait AUhiLe

At the moment the Nipponese
do not seem TO relish the idea of
taking on the Russian forces in
Siberia. even though Siberia is on
their map of conquest.
True. Japan has long feared the
ever-present menace of Vladivos-
tok's airfields, only $50 miles from
Toxic, and the Nipponese intend
to eradicate that menace as soon
as the time seems ripe. ~
But part of Japan's reluctance
to challenge Soviet might is due
to those airdromes and bombing
squadrons at Vladivostok.
Unless the niikado's legions
could stage a lightning blitz and
capture Vladivostok in their first
mad rush. the flimsy japanese

cities might be bombed out OF
existence before the campaign
could progress far.
But the prime obstacle to the
Nipponese Is the continuing re-
sistance of China. If the mikado's
forces tackled Russia befor e
weakening China they would have
powerful enemies on both sides.
Some of the same reasoning ap-
plies to Japan's future plans for
the conquest of India.
If Nippon can finally crush
China. she can proceed unopposed
except from the direction in
which she chooses to launch her
next offensive.

Custer Private, III,

FORT CUSTER, May 30.-Pri-
vate Freddie L. World of Chicago
drowned today in Eagle Lake.
Officers said Private World had
been confined in the post hospital
since May 25 and that an investi-
CATION is being held to determine
how he became detached from a
group of patients being taken for
walk along Eagle Lake in the
military reservation. His body
was recovered.

The American exploit awakened
the Nipponese from their pipe
dream of security. Their home
land and its key industrial centers
could be bombed after all.
"Shangri La" mentioned by
President Roosevelt as the myth
cal base for the raid on Japan,
shows on no map, of course. But
there are merous potential
"Shangri Las" in eastern and
central China.
One of these may be Kinhwa,
only $50 miles by air from south
ern Japan. This provisional CAPT
tai OF China's Chekiang Province
has been battered for days by
japanese mechanical drives from
several directions.
And today ii was finally aban-
doned 10 the Japanese by the hard
pressed Chinese defenders.
But, as the accompanying map
shows, other possible air bases are
scattered over wide area IN
China. Hence the japanese face
an immense task in their efforts
TO erase from the vast map of
China all possible sources OF an
sir-borne menace to the Land OF
the Rising Sun.
Sian, for example. lies in the
Wei Ho Valley surrounded by tre-
mendously mountainous country.
Ningsia is in even more inaccessi-
bic terrain farther north.
But Japan apparently has de-
Icided that now is the time TO

For the moment Generalissimo
Chang kai-Shek must rely on
what munitions can be sent him
by air transport from India plus
whatever arms beleaguered Russia
can spare or transship by the
long overland route.
AS a result the japanese believe
Chinese resistance cannot continue
long if concerted offensives are
driven home before new supply
routes under construction are
Iopened.

Butler Says New Congress

Senator Butler, Republican, Of

Hopkins is one of the things the
new Congress will have to explore "
II dread to think" the Senator
said. what is happening behind the
scenes of lease-lend under Harry
Hopkins whose only background for
the job was such an utter failure in
administering WPA that he had to
be extracted from the mess and who
Is now given more millions to play
with without any member of Con-
gress knowing what he Is doing"
War, he said, lis not a job for
economic playboys."
Commenting on the resignation of
Leon Henderson as price admins
traitor, Senator Butler declared:
The Henderson debacle in OPA
illustrates in its entirety one Of the
basic failures of the New Deal
throughout its existence. There has
been a consistent policy of putting
economic theorists to work doing
administrative jobs for which they
have no ability. '''
The New Deals program Of put
ting Hendersons, and Hopkins and
Tugwells in key war jobs when each
has past records of huge admins
trative failures is dangerous to vic
tory and destructive of the morale
