He added thas although China with a major victory at Taiercliwang, bad turned the tide of battle and shattered the myth of Japanese invincibility, she still needed war materials. No nation except one. despite tlie League resolutions, had done anything to assist her. Japan’s armed forces numbered 1,000.600.
