BRITAIN AND CHINA
WHAT AMERICAN AID MEANS ULTIMATE DEFEAT OF AXIS (Rec. 10 p.m.) DETROIT, Api. 28. Mr Thomas Lament, chairman of the Executive Committee of J. P. Morgan and Co., speaking to the Detroit Economic Club, said: “ Britain and China can win if the United States grants immense and speedy aid. America's determination not to surrender the sea lanes in the Atlantic and the Pacific, backing the indomitable spirit of the British and the heroism of China, will spell ultimate defeat for the Axis.” Mr Lamont said that the Japanese in China were failing and did not know which way to turn, and he added “ Japan’s acute problem now is not how to finish the war with victory, but how to make some sort of composition to save her face.”
