LONDON PAPER SENDS REPORTER TO FAR EAST

Incidentally, he has covered four wars for the Dally Express during his short journalistic career, first in Abyssinia, then in Spain (whence he was expelled by Franco), In Palestine, during the Arab revolution, in China, when the Sino-Japanese "inoldent" commenced, and recently in France and the Middle East
