THE ECONOMIC FRONT
CHINA SAID TO BE NEAR COLLAPSE
NEW YORK, February 1.
."The Chinese resistance to the Japanese aggression is facing Collapse because of the Allies' failure to send the promised food and munitions," said Mmc, Wellington Koo, wife of the Chinese Ambassador to London, in a speech at Philadelphia.
"China is nearer to collapse on the economic front than at any other time during the war," she said. "If the Chinese Government is forced to negotiate a peace it will not be because the soldiers shirked fighting. They have fought practically without guns, planes, and ammunition. It will be because the people are ravaged by sickness and starving in the streets, their hope gone, and with it the spirit to carry on."
