CHINESE WINGS OVER
JAPAN
HONG KONG, May 22,
IS CLEAR that, despite assertions to the contrary, the Japanese I do not understand the Chinese. The ferocity of the indiscriminate bombings of non-combatants and civil populations which the Japanese airmen have carried out have failed to have the desired effect. The terror of air bombardment has falled to shake the morale of the Chinese people, And on the contrary has ever served to awaken the nation to unite in a determined fight to defeat the in-
vader.
Wil the Japanese who picks up a leaflet dropped by the Chinese planes over Osaka and Sasebo feel the magnanimity of the gesture and appreciate this demonstration of the might of China? It is too much to hope for this-just as it is too much to hope that the "civilian population and the Japanese Emperor" will rise and oppose the Japanese military for their invasion of China.
But let the Japanese propagandists who are so vocal in this Colony convey to their people that the Chinese people applaud the method in which warning was given to the Japanese people, and the Japanese Emperor of the things in store for them if they fail to rise against their military for their invasion of China."
་་
In the air, the Chinese forces have shown a consistent develop- ment both in performance and range. Wherever and whenever they have deemed it expedient to dispute, supremacy in the air they have emerged victorious. Whether in Hankow or Canton or at suchow or in Shansi, these young and" gallant airmen have been able to Impose their will upon the Japanese flyers by shooting them down.
Over Formosa military objectives were reached and bombed by Chinese planes without the loss of a ship. And the shadow of Chinese wings have now been spread over Japan carrying with aminous doom to Japanese imperialism.
IT IS NOT the nature of the Chinese people and their leaders..to go mad with hatred, or be moved to barbarity through a feeling cf desperation. The raid on Japan was a deliberate action, con- ceived, planned and carried out with efficiency that is characteristic of Young China. Retaliation against Japanese indiscriminate bombing has not entered into the picture yet. The Chinese are not in desperate straits as are their enemies. Nor do they need to slaughter Innocents in order to impose their will upon the Japanese. militarists either in China or in Japan.
In the field of battle at Esuchow the initiative remains with the Chinese Command. Their forces are intact and the likelihood of another "Talerchwang" is becoming more and more promising. But in this case it will not be a local victory. It may well alter the course of the entire war.
The battle for Esuchow up to now has cost the Japanese more than 100,000 in killed and wounded. The cost has been great, but the price has not been completely paid. There is more owing, for after Esuchow-what next? And the strategic situation remains the same: if anything, a degree more dangerous for the Invaders.
The swift advances in West Shantung from north and south have been carried out by the Japanese with the aid of mechanised units supported by cavalry. In some cases they actually did reach the Lunghal railway but everywhere they were driven off and pursued., The main Japanese advance is east of Hsuchow and it is from that direction that the further advance is to be made.
The Chinese.lines have swung north and south and are pivotted. on the Yellow River, The Tsin-Pu Railway will remain under threat from the Chinese forces for a considerable time to come. FROM THE STRATEGIC point of view, the capture of Hsuchow and the elongating of the fighting front from Sulyuan in the north to Hauchow in the south present the Japanese with a situation that 19 fraught with grave danger. As a result of this, one is not sur- prised to and that in Shansi the Japanese are falling back to rest their defences upon the mountains on the borders of Shans! and
Hopel provinces.
And once Beaten out of these defences, as they probably will be during the course of the next months, there may be no recourse for them but to confine themselves to holding Pelping and Tientsin and other fortified points north of the Yellow River. However, with the
arrival of heavy artillery for the Chinese forces they should be able
to drive the invaders from these strongholds."
Under these circumstances it is permissible for the Chinese people and their leaders to accept the Japanese threat to storm Hankow" and to attack South China with scepticism, and to view the future military campaign with equanimity.

In Western civilisations a spirit of tolerance Was disseminated Auring the nineteenth century Earlier than that it was prized in England for its own sake. Milton was its most eloquent exponent. but he stood for thousands who had inherited the tradition Liberty. JOHN LOCKE wrote his famous "Letter of Toleration” in 1889. and it is of historical significance that tolerance was "embraced for Its practical value to the State,as much as for its high qualities of justice and right.
By the capture of Hsuchow Japan hopes to begin political manoeuvres to stave off final defeat. By linking up the Pelping and the Nanking "regimes (albeit by air communication) Japan hopes to
extricate herself from the tolls of Chinese Nationalism.
But adventures begun by hotheaded militarists of the Kwantung Army and the Imperial General Staff are not so easily called off, Peace can be achieved only by the admission of failure, a complete withdrawal from Chinese soll, and the abolition of Manchukuo. The Chinese achievements during the battles in Shantung and in Shansi have shown that they can and will impose their will upon the Japanese invaders, And this is the will of the Chinese people.- (P. C.)..
