CHINA'S BATTLE
SUCCESSES IN KIANGSI NEED TO RECAPTURE BURMA LONDON, September 27. The Chinese have made successful assaults on Japanese-held positions in' northern Kiangsi province. Addressing a meeting of the Aid to China Fund in London today, the Chinese Ambassador to Britain, Dr. Wellington Koo, said that after the defeat of Germany, he did not think that Japan, now in the grip of a military dictatorship, would willingly lay down her arms. He stressed the importance of recapturing Burma as quickly as possible, and said that only in this way could vital supplies of war material be sent to China. Another speaker was the Home Secretary, Mr. Herbert Morrison, who said that China was the first » great country to resist aggression, and today she was holding a million Japanese soldiers who would otherwise be at the throats of the United Nations in other theatres of war. China's resistance was an astonishing spectacle. In five years the Chinese had built up, almost out of nothing, an effective resistance to Japan, a powerfully-armed and determined enemy.
