THE WAR IN CHINA

(Continued from Page 19) cent address made by: Admiral Retzmann before the Society for Research-in China's Problems in Berlin at the farewell banquet in honour of the Chinese Ambassador to Germany, during which he eulogised the gallantry of the Chinese army and the achieve- ments of the Generalissimo.

The news from the battlefront "in the rear" indicate increasing organization and effectiveness of the guerilla warfare which is spreading in such widely separated places as the neighbourhood of Shanghai, Northern Hopel, and On even the South China coast. the anniversary of the Lukouchiao incident the Japanese troops found themselves battling near the point where the opening shots of the present war had been fired. Jap- anege reports admit that the Eighth Route. Army is extending its operations northward into East Hopei and Southern Jehol, and a Reuters despatch from Mukden early in July reported serious concern of the authorities over an. unprecedented increase in large scale fires in a number of im- portant Manchurian centres.

The greatest feat, however, was undoubtedly the capture of Namoa, an island off Swatow, by a Kwang- tung guerilla force under the com- mand of Colonel Hung Chih-cheng, in the course of which several "puppets" were taken prisoners and promptly executed.

No progress whatsoever has been made since the conferen- ce of the magistrates and officers of the Special Military Missions in their efforts to control the area beyond the railways, while the Reds have made extraordinary progress." --MissionariesTM coming out from this area confirm the facts that the territory is being run by keen and active young men, who are doing a remarkably good job of rehabilitation and re- organization. They have establish- ed hundreds of primary schools; several newspapers carry the latest news from Hankow and from the front, they have their own arsen- als, an efficient-propaganda corpa, a strict passport system and a very elaborate spy organization. The problems tackled by them are not only political and adminis- trative but also economic. They have vowed to attack any Japan. ese project in North China and for a beginning have ordered a reduction by no less than 90 per cent of the area planted with cot- ton, grain being now grown instead to insure self-sufficiency In foodstuffs,

LOSING IN-REAR

It becomes more and more evident that, rapid as the Japanese advance had been in numerous instances, the area actually con- trolled by the Japanese forces is in many provinces smaller than it was earlier during the hostili- ties; in other words, that while pushing forward their offensive on the main battle fronts they have been losing ground in the Such tactics are dangerous, to say the least, and the question how they can be squared with the intention of developing and ex- ploiting the occupied areas as a whole remains unanswerable. not Military victories alone do insure the victory “In the war.

From China's South-west comes the announcement of the comple- tion of the Yunnan-Burma-high- ́ way, with the restriction, though, that most likely the road will not be in really fit condition before autumn.. Its commercial economic possibilities are now being canvassed, and there is much talk of undeveloped mineral re- sources the exploitation of which it will make possible. Work is being pushed on the new railway linking Chen-nan Kuan (on the border of Kwangsi and Indo- China) with Nanning and Kwei- lin, which is expected to be in operation by July 1989. (A consi- derable part of the material used on this line was obtained frðm railway tracks in Central China which were ripped off before the retreat of the Chinese troops.) Mills are being erected in Kwei- yang, Kunming and Chungking.
