CHINA WILL Be
POWERF Ill ALLY

Expressing his belief that China
viii be . powerful and worthwhile
ally Of the United States. DR.. Will
lard r. Hanna. OF the Michigan
State Normal College English de-
partment, spoke to the general as
sembly Tuesday in Pease AUDI
forum. Or. Hanna has spent some
years teaching in China and this
has provided him with hrst-hand
knowledge OF its people.
Before discussing China as an
Ally, DIR. Hanna exploded some
of the misconceptions Westerners
usually have about China. He said
that the Chinese are a race OF
wheat-eaters, not rice-eaters, and
hot water-drinkers, not tea-drink-
ers. He demonstrated that the
Chinese language is not comical
when suoken correctly and distinct
ly.
I'VE fnd ourselves suddenly at
war with Japan and we are now
an ally OF China. The latter. in
my estimation, is more important
he declared. He repeatedly point
ed out that China is to Japan what
Russia is TO Germany, both in size
and population. as we'll as serving
~ second fronts to the totalitarian
powers.
He stressed that recently the
Chinese have been making the Of
fsnsive. and described the Japa-
ness invasion as a complete flop"
Considering the possibility OF the
loss Of imports OF oil and machin-
cry to China II the Burma Rd. is
closed completely, the speaker ex-
pressed his belief that the Chinese
would not be faxed by II but could
and would build another Burma
Rd.
DR.. Hanna told the audience that
China's industries are located in
the country rather than in the
city. They produce war materials
now, he said.
He also explained the political
system OF the Chinese government.
pointing out that there is but one
party and that headed by a strong
leader. but nevertheless, he en-

phssizsd, II is not q dictatorship In
the sense OF the word We know.
The one party is not closed but is
made up mostly OF the intelligent
STA. Only those Chinese who are Of
good character are accepted.
DR.. Hanna told the history OF the
leader. Chang Kai-shek. terming
him as being q mixture OF Con-
fucianistic GOODNESS and New Eng.
land Puritanism.
I'VE have been very badly fooled
in the Orient" DR.. Hanna said. He
concluded that America has Taught
lily underestimate the strength of
Japan-the cheerful side OF this
being that America has also under
estimated the Chinese.
DR.. Gerald Sanders introduced
the speaker.

Red Forces
 Find Nazis
 Are Tougher
German Resistance Stiff- ening with New Re-
 Inducements

MOSCOW, Dec. 7.-German re- sistance is said to be stiffening with Axis borne endorsements on the Central Front west of Moscow, but the Russians claim to have battered down 20 counter-attacks west of German-held Rzhev and killed 1000 Nazis in a three-day advance along the important Rzhev-Vyazma railroad line.
 The Russian offensive appears to be gaining more ground, both on the Central Front and southwest of Stalingrad, although the Ger mans now are bursting out of their snow-covered positions in desper- ate counter attacks.
 The Red Army northwest of Stalingrad is reported tightening the hold on both banks of the Don River A late communique from that sector said that the Russians, after repulsing all attacks, are consolidating their captured positions.

Offensive Staged Day and Night on Important

A strong force of Royal Air Force bombers, striking after American and British airmen carried out one of the biggest daylight assaults against the continent, continued i'll an offensive to knock Italy out Of the conflict The RAF attack was made last night especially on one of the bottlenecks, the rail system through which the Nazis sustain their weaker partner.
 The British bombers targets, in southwest Germany, were identified by Berlin, as Karlsruhe and Pforz- helm, neighboring communications and war factory centers on the most direct route from Germany to Italy.

along with refloating and hull re- pairing are not ready for battle action"
 An earlier announcement listed the Shaw, one of the seriously dam aged destroyers, as back with the fleet. The battleship Oklahoma still lies on her side on the muddy har- bor bottom. Preparations for right ing the Oklahoma" the Navy said "are now in progress, although the final decision concerning the wis dom of accomplishing this at the time has not been made"
 It is understood that the issue on this is the question of making the best use of limited drydock space.
 Type of Jap Planes
 The report estimates that the Japs used 21 torpedo planes, 48 dive bombers, 36 horizontal bomb CTS
 The Navy had POP aircraft at the island, the Army additional num- bers. Many of these were destroyed or disabled on the ground
 Thirty eight naval planes took the air on December T, 194l, in- cluding Is from a carrier approch- ing during the attack. Four of these were shot down. A few Army planes aloft downed more than 20 Jap planes"
 US. Navy action cost the enemy 28 planes, three small submarines.
 Until today's summary, the only official statement on the losses was Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox's statement eight days after when he said the Arizona was lost along with three destroyers, a minelayer and a target ship. He also said that the Oklahoma had capsized, adding that information as to the extent of damage to the others would be valuable to the enemy
 Early Statement The President, in his radio ad- dress on February g, referred to 'damnable mis-statements" concern ing the names of the ships, but said that of the combat ships at Pearl Harbor, "only three were permanently put out of commis- sion"
 The report now makes clear how valuable the information would have been to the enemy Hawaii's
