information on dangerous
a appearing Asiatic events
which have been rendered in
scruhble by censorship.
The war department officer can
discuss only military matters,
Senator Holman said, which would
sull leave the need OF a statement
from the White House on the
political situation of China and
India, characterized by the sena-
tor as apparently just as uncer-
tain and ominouS as the military
picture that we have glimpSed
occasionally through the censor S
smoke screen.
CHINA'S HARDEST YEAR
Senator Holman said con-
GreSiOnal concern had been in
creased by the return here of the
Chinese ambassador, Wei Tao
Ming, from a prolonged visit TO
Chungking, resulting in the ann
bassador's observation that this
will be the hardest year of the
war" for China. and that he had
a message from GeheFaiisSinfo
Chang Kai-Shek for President
Roosevelt.
I'm afraid that message is
bad news" Senator Holman re-
marked.
A she talked news reports were
saying that the aggressive Japa-
neSe Burama army, apparently
reinforced, was massing for new
assaults in India, and that the
japanese drive In central China
was spreading.
These announcements had been
preceded by persistent rumors
that the diminance of Chang
Kai-Shek is threatened by Com
munist and other rival factions in
the Chungking executive council,
and that there was dissension
between Lord Mountbatten. COM
mander of Allied southeast Asia
forces, and his superior. Gen.
Auchinleck, commander of the
British imperial military estab-
llShment in India.
Mountbatten must depend on
Auchinleck for ALLEGATIONS.
ENGLISH REPORTS CLASH
Almost comp lete censorship,
angrily protested by news CORE
SpondentS, has prevented a full
report on the political struggle at
Chungking.
Lord MountbattenS special re-
ports from Ceylon have been
oblique and merely of vaguely
reassuring nature as to political
developments, while his daily
military communiques obviously
have not covered the entire mill
tary situation. Senator Holman
insisted.
He pointed out that Mount
batten'S headquarters early last
week denied Japanese had ever
entered the city OF Kohima. Then
on a subsequent day il was
claimed that the Allies has ousted
the japanese garrison of the
city.
Regarding all these things,
Congress has not been given one
word OF explanation from high
authority" Senator II I'm an
