THE CITY OF HANGCHOW, ONE HUNDRED MILES FROM SHANGHAL WITH THE PURPOSE, IT IS STATED, OF DESTROYING THE AIR BASE THERE. PARTS OF HANGCHOW WERE IN FLAMES WHEN THEY LEFT.
Since this morning, when the Chinese bombard- ment of Hongkew,died down, there has been a strange silence regarding developments on the battlefronts, suggesting that there have been no developments, that the Japanese having failed yesterday in a linal desperate bid to force the Chinese troops into a helter- skelter retreat, have ceased operations until the arrival of reinforcements.

Stimson's striking letter to Senator Borah, containing a threat of a vital change of naval policy vis-a-vis Japan, might be used as a lever to induce Britain to co-operate more closely with the United States in the Far East.
