London, June 21.
"General Chiang Kaisshel's task is appallingly hard, but it must be rẹ- membered that he has already suc-Gceded in the impossible—unifying China," says Colonel G. R- V. Steward, formerly General Staff Officer with the British troops in China, in analyse ing the war situation in the "Daily Telegraph" today.
Colonel Steward commends China's reüdiness, if necessary, to evacuate Hankow.
Changsha is the limit, he says, beyond which Japan would hardly Sare (o push her armies.
The writer draws attention to the efficacy of Chinese guerillas, "Japan," he asserts, "will require an enormous garrison to protect puppet govern" ments in China, whose writ will only yun so far as a rifle bullet will carry "There is a point below which Japan will not dare to let her economic barometer sink, unless she wishes to relinquish her position as the strongest military power in the Far East, General Chiang Kai-shole knows that time is on his side'
Dr, Robert McClure, who came from North China to attend the International Red Cross Conference, in speaking today at the headquarters of the Lord Mayor's China Relief Fund, expressed the opinion that 70 per cent, of Japanese air raids were efforts to kill General Chiang Kai shek, A typical case, he said, was the hemping of Chumatien, a market town in southern Honan, where not one building was spared. General Chiang Kai-shek, he added, left a quarter of an hour before the raid.
