THE economic losses: suffered by China as the result of the fall of Hankow and Canton is computed by the Asahi Shimbun, leading Japanese newspaper here, in terms of official figures re- leased by the Chinese Maritime Customs.

With Hankow and Canton now captured by Japan, the Asahi Shimbun declares that the exports from the area under the control of the Chiang Kai-shek regime will not exceed 12 19,000,000 yuan in value annually, which represents only per cent of the total exports of China to the value of 706,000,000 yuan for 1936, that is, the year before the outbreak of the China Incident.
