CALM BEFORE STORM
(Received October 4, 7.5 p.m.) CHUNGKING, October 4. There is a comparative lull on the China front because China cannot launch a major counter-offensive before the arrival of heavy equipment from abroad and Japan cannot start a large-scale campaign in China because she fears major Allied blows in Burma and the South Pacific. „ . The newly-appointed English-speakin o Chinese military spokesman, Major-Gen-eral C. C. Tseng, made this statement to foreign Press correspondents. He added : "However, the present lull apparently precedes a storm, and it would be wrong to suppose that China is neglecting the duties of the global war.” American planes carried out one of their heaviest raids on Friday when they attacked the vital Japanese-occupied port of Haiphong, says General Stilwell's communique. A power plant, warehouses, and docks were blasted. Zeros attacked the Liberators when they were leaving their target. Three Zeros were destroyed, three probably shot down, and two damaged.
