Herr Hitler-has arrived unexpectedly in Vienna from Munich. When he left Berlin on Wednesday, it was stated that the Reichsfuehrer was going to his country home at Berchtesgaden for a short holiday.
The purpose of his trip to Vienna, it is stated, is to visit the opera and to take part in the 75th birthday celebrations today of Richard Strauss, the famous Viennese composer.—Reuter.

The outcome of the present Sino-Japanese war is likely to be some sort of compromise-affording temporary peace pending a renewal of the struggle later, according to Mr. Walter H. Mallory in the current issue of the magazine "Foreign Affairs" published today. 5
The article, entitled "The Strategy of Chiang Kai-shek" says the Chinese Generalissimo has a consistent plan of resistance, much of which was formulated in detail before the outbreak of current hostilities. This strategy, said the article, was as follows:
1. Remain on the defensive until the Japanese have been completely extended.
2. Intensify guerilla fighting to keep the invaders occupied while the Chinese reorganize their armies.
3. Launch a broad counter-offensive after the objectives of the first two steps have been accomplished.
The article said the Sino-Japanese war at present is in the second stage and predicted a major Chinese counter-offensive might never be possible unless more foreign aid is forthcoming to China. The article emphasized the importance to China of arousing her people to prolonged resistance.
In order to control China, said Mr. Mallory, Japan must also take the foreign concessions. Gen. Chiang would welcome such a move, the article said, because it would increase the chance of western aid to China.
In order to win the war, Mr. Mallory said, China must reorganize and strengthen her Army for counterattack, or Japan must collapse at home.
In order for Japan to win, she must crush all military resistance, restore order in China and gain Chinese ce-operation, Mr. Mallory said.
Since neither side seems capable of obtaining all their objectives, he predicts an eventual compromise and temporary peace—United Press,
