JAP. BLITZKRIEG EXPECTED SOON.
WAR /JV CHINA. 4 Growing Economic Pinch At Home. United Press Association.—Copyright. (Reed. 2 p.m.) LONDON, Sept. 16. The Hongkong correspondent of the North American Newspaper Alliance says informed persons believe the Sino-Japanese war will come to a climax within a few weeks. The Japanese are in unmistakable internal straits because of the growing economic pinch at home and unrest in the field in China. They desire a great 1940 push before the weather prolongs the campaign into the winter. The Japanese are reported to want a good victory to strengthen the home morale. There is no indication that the Chinese are not ready for the attack. If the Chinese can smashingly defeat the expected blitzkrieg "the Japanetee are likely to have the worst winter since the attempt at a new order was started.
