THE CHINA MAIL, MARCH 8, 1941

AMERICA CAN COUNT ON AID BY CHINA REFUSED TO BOMB

GENERAL HO YING-CHIN, chief of staff of the Chinese armies and concurrently war minister of Free China, told the Associated Press correspondent in an exclusive interview in Chungking that "if Japan, by further acts of aggression, should force the United States to take up arms the United States can count on China as a loyal ally which will never give up the fight until Japan has been crushed.”

The general asserted "China is a peace loving nation which for more than three and one-half years has been forced to defend herself against ruthless aggression."

He added China would regret to The general strongly denied that government's recent see the horrors of war brought to the Central other peaceful nations but declar- strong stand against "military dis- ed that a careful study of the obedience" had weakened Smo- political and military situations Soviet relations.

military purposes. He added that the entire scheme of Japan's southward expansion was based upon control of these three areas, and that Japan would try by every means to get con- trol of them.

He added that upon request Chinese troops would be similarly prepar- ed to give assistance if Malaya were attacked.

The Chief of Staff said Free the China is now worried over possibility of hostilities in the southern Pacific area halting the flow of American supplies to China, He pointed out that dur- ing the last three bitter years China has learned to depend upon herself and would continue the fight regardless of external de- velopments.

General Ho said, "I am not at liberty to reveal whether China will launch a general counter- offensive when Japan moves southward. However, we are steadily preparing for counter- attacks in various sectors."

"He indicated China would wel- come a Japanese drive in China simultaneously with any Nippon southward move.

"China Is United"/

The general, heavily sunburned, revealed that he spent more than a month along the Yunnan border, He said the morale of the Chinese troops was excellent, while the terrain in that sector was "the best for defensive action that I have ever seen.”

Questioned about internal con- ditions in China the general cate- gorically denied all rumours of -ser'ous conflict.

He said, "I guarantee that civil war will not take place. Civil war is impossible.”

He pointed out that the lighting strength of the communists was only three divisions against Free China's total of 300 divisions. He added "during the past month the Kuomintang-Communist situation has greatly improved.. The com- munists are quiet because they realise they do not have a leait- imate case. Some clements within
