China Only Wants One Per Cent, of U.S. Planes
Received Sunday, 9.50 p.m. CHUNGKING, June 27.
One per cent, of the United States’ annual warplane production—B4o— be enough for China, said General Chencheng to war correspondents on the Upper Yangtse front. General Chen did not think China would receive that many. “We have fought for nearly six years on morale, but it is evident we need a bigger air force and more heavy guns.” General Chen, who is 47, and is one of China’s leading generals, was hastily summoned from Yunnan to turn back the recent Japanese threat to Chungking. He expressed his belief that the Japanese were not in a position to renew their attacks as they have not enough troops in China to do so.
