RE-OPENING EVACUEES

Banner headlines greet the re-opening of the Burma road in the Ameri-

can newspapers.

The "Washington Står" sees in the move, renewed determination by Britain to have done with ap- peasement and stand firmly with America against further Japanese cncroachment on the rights of the Western Powers in the Far East.

"The re-opening of the Burma road is more than 4 sign of а revitalised Britain (due to the apparent passing of the invasion threat). It is also an augury of a revitalised China grifly bent on driving the ruth- less invader from her violated territory."

The "Star" adds that America has a proper concern over

the Burma road developments, "for China is not only our friend but our first line of defence against Tokyo and the new tripartite totalitarian Axis."

Meanwhile the publicity drive against Japan continues in. all quarters of the country.--Reuter.
