LONDON, July 12. "MY FIRM opinion is that China will win her war with Japan though victory may be long in coming," declared Mr. Carl Crow to a reporter on his arrival in London, from China to-day.
Mr. Crow, whose business connections with China go back 26 years, recently travelled through "China's backdoor"-- over the new 1,000 mile of road from Burma-to see Chlang Kai-shek.
Over the road, he states, go mast of China's munitions of war and 100,000- men, women and girls are still im- proving the carriage way, All hair- pla benda are being straightened out, deep cuttings are being ex- cavated in order to lessen gradients and, because no dynamite la avail- able, blasting is being done with the old-fashioned black powder.

Two Planes Daily Stating that an 'American plane factory had been constructed close to the Burmese border, Mr. Crow declared that with 60 American executives and 5,000 Chinese me- chanles it was already turning out two warplanes a day. "That," he added. "Is Just a beginning, but I don't know where they are getting their money from."
All luxuries were now banned la China, including tobacco, perfume and. tollet soap. And Miss China's leg which Mr. Crow says are the most beautiful in the world-are baro because silk stockings are reckoned a luxury.
2,000,000 Troops
Mr. Crow believes that the Chinese have 2,000,000 troops in the Beld.. High officers informed him that they could re-take many of the big cities lost to the Japanese, but refrained. from doing so because guerilla war enables them to make the most of their man-power while suffering as "YOU are civilized human little as possible from the superior
