JAPAN'S BOMBINGS
FAIL IN THEIR OBJECTIVES
By Our Special Correspondent With The Guerillas
The recent bombings of Wuchow and Nannine in Kwangsl again bring up the repeated charge agslust Japan of ruthless bombings of non-military objectives. The intentions behind these frequens att raids are plainly obvious-to disorganise communications and de- moralise the Chinese people by bombing cultural, centres and towns. Such actions are no doubt based on a military calculation of results: to crush the morale of the enemy by using all possible ways and means.
