CHUNGKING, June 28.-Gener.
allssimo Chang Kai-shek said to.
day the Allies are getting thei,
forces ready to deal Japan its fina.
blow.
If the Americans land on the
japanese home islands and defeat
the enemy there, the Chinese will
find it simple to deal with the JAP
anese on the Asiatic mainland, the
generalissimo asserted.
He praised his chief of staff, the
commander of American forces in
China, 1t. Gen. Albert C. Wede-
meyer, for his distinct contribu-
ton" to Chinese-American military
cooperation. He lauded Maj. Gen
Patrick J. Hurley, United States
Ambassador, for Ibis considerable
help" in bettering Chinese -Ameri-
can diplomatic relations.
Chiangs statements were made in
the first general foreign press con-
ference he has granted since 1941
A Chinese-speaking American said
the generalissimo's remarks meant
that:
/. China is prepared to bear the
full brunt of the land battle in
China, with the support of Ameri-
can air forces and special American
ground help, and
2. The generalissimo regarded an
American landing on the China
coast as necessary to open a port
for supplies to Chinese forces.
Chang said more Americans
would be welcomed in China, in
cluding industrialists, economists
and correspondents.
Chang said he believed it would
require more than 18 months to
collapse Japan completely and pre-
dicted that the enemy would fall
apart in the same manner as did
Germany. He added, however, that
if Chinese forces were utilized fully
Japan might be crushed within a
year.
