declared last night at dinner at

The theaters of war are closely
inter-related. In the past the
people of Asia understood quite
we'll that the danger in Europe
would affect very much the situa-
tion in Asia. Today the situation
In Asia, if not quickly improved
also will have direct consequence
on the situation in Europe
we must keep in mind that this
is total, global war, that it is in
divislble and so is the peace
DR.. Wei was the principal speaker
at dinner honoring the War Pro-
duction Committees of the Gen.
eral Electric Cos Bridgeport plant,
which, at ceremony at the plant,
received the Army Navy "E."
In China, DR.. Wei declared five
million seasoned fighters are ready
for the signal to attack when they
have the necessary weapons" Pay
ing tribute to American production,
he stressed that Japan needs time"
and urged concerted attack soon on
the enemy's soft belly, which are
the islands of Japan"

was Gerard Swope. president of the
