Soviet Aid to China Is Expected to Continue
LONDON, April 30. KrrcnTn g to-day to Russia’s ban on the transhipment of war materials across Soviet territory, Chinese officials at Chungking pointed out that the materials China received from the Soviet originated in Russia Itself. In view of this, presumably China would not be affected. If this were so, the officials added, the ban would be beneficial to China in the sense that it would prevent German materials from reaching Japan. This was especially important in view of recent reports that Germany was considering sending aircraft to Japan. The Peiping correspondent of the Japanese Dome! News Agency says that the United States is expected to withdraw* its garrison forces soon from North China, with the first batch of 70 from Peiping and 50 from Tientsin, leaving on May 15 from Chinwangtao for Manila via Shanghai. The marines —2OO from Peiping and 230 from Tientsin—also will be withdrawing soon, the agency adds. A message from Kunming, terminus of the Burma road, says that Japanese planes bombed the town and destroyed the Canadian Inland Mission and damaged the British Consulate. The main business district was hit heavily.
