...with intelligent air raid precautions, a whole day's series of five raids need not kill more than five people. But apparently nothing in the world can make the Chinese people defend themselves intelligently. Last week 18 Japanese planes flew three times over Ichang, Yangtze trading centre between Hankow and Chungking. Bombs damaged two American mission compounds clearly identified with U.

Since the fall of Hankow and Canton last October, fighting in China has remained desultory.

Its capital, Nanking, centre of the web of roads, railways and airlines which Chiang Kai-shek spun across the map of China, fell to the Japanese a year ago last week. New China moved westward to Hankow and carried on. Two months ago advancing Japanese forces straddled both ends of the vital Canton-Hankow railway (completed in 1936) which skirted the western frontier of Chiang's original New China. Once again New China trekked westward-to a new place...
