CHINA AND ALLIES
SERIOUSLY DISSATISFIED WITH MINOR ROLE (Recd. 8.30 p.m.) Washington, Dec. 30. The Associated Press correspondent says a Chinese spokesman confirmed that Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek ordered the Chinese military mission to return home. Another Chinese information revealed that Chungking is seriously dissatisfied with what is considered to be the minor role assigned to China in the Allied strategy, and also the inability of General Hsiung Shih-fei, head of the mission, to impress China’s viewpoint on the military authorities here. General Hsiung believes that there is no likelihood of a large-scale offensive against Japan in the near future only a conctinuance of the present guerrilla type of warfare in the Pacific and in China itself.
Madame Chiang Kai-shek is at present in America, still hopeful of enlarged Allied activity on the Far Eastern front. She is reported to have declared that she will not return home until the Burma Road is reopened.
