Asia. Lishui is about 75 miles away and several other bases also were built at the time. Now the Bunna Road has been cut and China is all but isolated ex- cept by air. The vanguard of the expected force of American bombers is in action under Brig-Gen. Claire L. Chennauli, along with fighter planes, but it is sadly hampered. I O O O I i Gasoline, bombs. spare parts, all must be brought In by air. So much fucl must be carried by transport planes for their long round trip flighls over some of the world's loftiest mountain ranges that little space re- mains for cargo. Like mule pack trains which must carry big loads of feed for the animals, planes of the aerial Bunna Road tend in military slang to "eat themselves up." A four-motor heavy bomber, it is estimated. burns nearly a gallon of fuel n minute at cruising speed. Aside from this difficulty, there is the uncertainty whether the fields can be held and made secure enough from further Japanese advances to serve as springboards for attack. I i i 8 8 K The Japanese have ample cause, nevertheless, for their fear that sooner or later there will be visits from China of a more formidable na- ture than James Dooliftleb su rise call_ of last April. The Japanese like the Nazs appreciate both the importance and stubborness of geography. Targets other than Tokyo are even closer to the Chinese fields. The Japanese Ruhr, the heavy industry area of Northern Kyushu, is only 800 miles distant, and Osaka and its war fac- tories but 1,000 miles. And the Pacific war already has seen the conquest pf problems as knotty as sending_f_ ‘ to China and them flylrg. ___..__ ____7____ . , Need To Crash M Japs Utterly Former U.S. Minister to Tokyo Confirms Nipponese Atrocities.
