Position Of Chinese Govt Forces 'Hopeless"
MANCHURIA
NANKING, Fri. (11 a.m.).— Opinions of foreign military observers in Nanking today are unanimous that. the military situation for Government forces in Manchuria is practically hopeless.
Another observer said he felt that further American aid to China was inevitable, but that it could not save the critical situation in Manchuria, which was deteriorating daily. “The Government forces ax - e powerless to stem the Communist onslaught, which appears to be an all-out offensive to take Manchuria before winter sets in," he said.
All confirm the pessimistic feeling prevailing in Government and military J circles here. j “The chaotic dislocation of communi- 1 cations in Manchuria is the deciding factor,” said one observer. Speaking of American military aid granted to China to date, he described it as “junk,” which had been rotting in Pacific Islands before passing to China.
