CHINA'S SPIRIT OF AND CO-OPERATION

Impressions Gained By World Student Delegate

ין

GENERALISSIMO HAILED BY ALL

AS THE NATIONAL LEADER

41

CHINESE NATIONALISM IS NOT NARROW-MINDED but goes with a spirit of international goodwill and co-operation, declared Mr. James Klugmaun, member of the International Student Delegation to China, today when asked by a representative of the Central News Agency about his impressions of China after a ten-week tour in the country.

Wherever he went, Mr. Klugmann said, he noticed the goodwill of the Chinese people toward foreigners and the sincerity with which they seek for international co-operation. Even in the war against Japanese aggression the Chinese clearly differentiate the Japanese militarists, their actual enemy, from the Japanese masses for whom they harbour no euemity. He saw posters bearing the words "Down with Japanese Militarists" and "Love the Japanese People.” placed side by side.

Hankow, July 21. [MPORTANT MILITARY DECISIONS ON THE YANGISE, around Poyang Lake, are to be expected in view of the Japanese and Chinese troop movements reported here today. The Japanese' have dispatched considerable forces, particularly from Hangchow, in Cheklang Province, and Nanking, to Hukow.

Twenty-two Japanese transports are reported to have passed Tatung, about 350 kilometres down the Yangtse from Klukiang. At the same time several units of the Japanese Air Force are reported to have been transferred from Hangchow to Wuhu and Anking.

The Chinese estimate the strength of the Japanese Air Force in the Yangtre Valley at about 300 planes: No major military actions took place in the area east of Riukiang between Wednesday and Thursday.

Captain John Fisher. speaking of the coastal tramp trade, said that coastal neet might number 50 ships, employing some 200 off- cers and 400 men. Each ship should make one voyage a week-a total of about 2,500 voyages a year.

The average distance of a vapage was more than 200 miles, and the average size of a coasting tramp about 600 tons cargo capacity, so

that a Beet of 50 coasters might transport cargo 300,000,000 ton miles in a year.
