Electricals were among the weak

cline in many equities while gilt

balanced and Bank of England
stock steadied at around 350-370.
Several coal shares staged a slight
recovery and steels, building shares,
motors, shipping and textile firms

NEW YORK, Aug. 2.-General re-
cessionary tendencies persisted in
today's stock market although there
was little If any weakness and deal

Spot news inspiration was lacking
throughout. Bullish contingents
continued to hold aloof, however, to
await published results of the Big
Three conference, developments in
the Far East and next moves Of the
victorious Labor party in Great
Britain. Buying ardor was chilled
also to some extent by the further
decline of naturalization" securi-
ties in London. Pleasing dividends
and earnings provided slight props
for individual issues but, on the
whole, were ignored.
Feeble recovery efforts at the
start of the session failed to follow
through and by midday losses ran
to better than point for pivotals
Extreme minus signs were reduced
here and there near the close.
Transfers were around $4,000
shares.
Conspicuous on the lower drift
most of the day were Santa Fe,
Southern Railway, Southern Pacific,
United tSates Steel, General Motors,
United States Rubber, General Elec-
trio, Electric Power e. Light, Du

were American Can, Boeing, Johns

CHUNGKING, Aug. alt. Gen.
Albert c. Wedemeyer said yesterday
that he feels more optimistic about
a speedy end to this war against
Japan" after a To-day, 5,000-mile
tour of six Chinese provinces by
jeep and plane.
And so do l." said 1t. Gen. Will
liam H. Simpson, former commander
of the 9th Army in Europe, who
accompanied Gen. Wedemeyer. the
commander of American forces in
the Chinese war theater.
Gen. Simpson, in China on a
visit" arrived in Chungking three
days before Gen. Wedemeyer started
out. The two we're joined for parts
of their exhaustive, fact-finding
tour by Gen. Chen Cheng, Chinese
War Minister, and by the COM
manders of American air and ,p-
ply forces in the theater
Gen. Wedemeyer told a Chinese
audience at one stop that he found
almost half the Chinese soldiers
starving" when he arrived eight
months ago to succeed Gen. Joseph
w. Stilwell in command of Ameri-
can forces.
Chinese Gains Cited.
Since then, he said, local Chinese
officials had helped Generalissimo
Chang Kai-shek's efforts against
Japan-which he described as now
being defeated"-by two measures
that must be continued and expand
ed:
First, consumption of none but
able e-bodied men without regard to
wealth or position.
Second, furnishing of the troops
with adequate and wholesome food.
Chinese soldiers must be treated
as they are entitled to be treated
as brave and self-sacrificing men,"
Gen. Wedemeyer said.
This address was made at Kwei-
yang to the officials of Kweichow
Province and was reported yester-
day by Sydney (Australia) Morn
ing Herald correspondent who rep
resented the combined press on the
tour.
5000 Troops Addressed.
At another stop Gen. Simpson ad-
dressed 5000 American-trained Chi
nese troops armed with formidable
American equipment flown over the
Hump" and trucked in over the
Stilwell road.
You really look like fighting sol-
diers." he told them. Remember
that in the fighting which lies ahead
of you in your own country you'll
have ample opportunities for mill
tary tactics you could not try before.
Envelop the enemy Get behind
him. Kill him. Show him no
mercy-he has shown your country
none"

States air commander in China, and
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault, re-
firing commander of the 14th Air
Force, were among the officers who
Joined the party for parts of the
tour.
Japs Nearly Isolated.
Gen. Chennault told a press con-
ference today the Japanese home is
lands now were almost isolated and
predicted that within a month the
Japanese would be unable to move
personnel or supplies to or from the
Asiatic mainland
Asserting that the situation in ia
pan would become very bad in four
to six months" Gen. Chennault said
he did not believe air attacks alone
would defeat Japan even if we
starved her almost to complete
death" He said it would be neces-
sary to land in Japan.
