* Rain-Soaked Countryside Will Hamper Japanese
NO FEAR OF INTERNAL SPLIT
३॥
Uncertainty continues to be felt regarding Japan's inten- tions towards South China. The Chinese feel that. the invasion of Kwanrtung is likely to be postponed for a further perlod. They attach importance to the approach of the rainy season, although opinions differ as to its ability to impede seriously Japanese military operations down here.
Heavy rainfall over an extended period would render the delta well-nigh impassable, while the more likely advance from the various points along the Kwangtung coast across a ruin-soak- 'countryside would prove most difficult. On the other hand, less optimistic circles recall the hopes placed on the rainy weather in Ethiopia, which failed to halt the Italian push.
It is felt that Japan missed her, the regulars in defending the opportunity in December, when province.

Inventor Warns Of New
Form Of Aerial Attack
"Washington, Feb, 19.
An entirely new type of aerial attack, against which battle- ships and other surface craft would be powerless, was described. by the military Inventor, Lester Barlow, when he gave evidence before the House Naval Committee.
Barlow, who claims to be the first man to use bombs in aerial warfare, said that a new offensive weapon known as "aerial mines" would be announced publicly in the immediate future.
+
Aerial mines had a similar relation to the air above water" as marine mines had under water.
This new form of aerial offensive, designs for which were now available, would make possible effective attacks on all types of warships from altitudes over 15,000 feet.
Barlow suggested that extentive alterations should be made in America's naval rearmament programme owing to this inven- tion.(Reuter).
