European War Situation and Its Effect on China and Japan

The Japenese military authorities who have expended about 20,000,000,000 Yen and much of their country's resources on their China War are now trying to bring it to an end by using Blitzkrieg methods in imitation of latest European practice. The subject is discussed from many angles in this week's issue of The China Weekly Review:

"COLLAPSE OF FRANCE SPEEDS AMERICAN ARMS. PRO-GRAMME", an editorial.

"JAPAN'S ARMIES TRY TO END WAR WHILE STATESMEN LOOK FOR NEW FIELDS TO CONQUER", an editorial, "JAPAN'S THREE ROADS TIO GLORY", an article by John Ahlers, well-known writer on finance and economics, deals with the ambitious programmes of the military factions and the safer course of the businessmen, "WHAT* SHOULD CHINA DO ABOUT THE SITUATION IN EUROPE", an article by Hubert S. Liang, a well-known Chinese writer, who recently returned to China from an extensive trip abroad.
