"The senator stated that the
British had an army Of nearly
10000 men on the Indian
frontier and were opposed there
nv some 10000 or $4,000 Japa-
nese. He was at a loss to know,
he said, why this British army
was not more active In opening
the Burma Road so that aid
could 20 to China and without
the opening of which China
might he conquered by the Japa-
nese and taken out OF the war.
'If this were TO happen" ar
gued the senator "that would
throw pretty much all of the
burden of fighting the japanese
on the United States alone,
while at the same time we were
helping In the fighting with the
Russians and British In Europe.
This view is shared by the
people of Australia, whose pOpu-
Iation is only about 100000 and
who, too, are insistent that more
