Strategic

The withdrawal of the Chinese forces to the new defence ines in Shanghai must not be interpreted as China's abandonment of the port city, a communique issued late Last night by the Chinese Military Headquarters, states. The Chinese forces, the communique declares, a Arm are determined stand south of the Soochow Creek including Nantao, and at Pootung. The withdrawal of the Chinese troops from the projecting posi- ilons at Klangwan and Chapel, the communique explains, keeps them out of the range of the guns on the
Japanese warships in the Whangpoo River.
Forein observers and Dressmen, sccording to the communique, have repeatedly inquired of the Chinese military authorities why they have not effected this strate- gle withdrawal earlier. The answer to this inquiry is obviously that intended to the Chinese forces
make the Japanese pay the high- est price for occupying every inch of Chinese territory.-
