JAPAN UNEASY
OVER CHINESE MOVEMENT TO BURMA REASON SEEN FOR CURRENT ACTIVITY. CHUNGKING SPOKESMAN’S SURVEY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.35 a.m.) CHUNGKING, April 9. A Chinese Army spokesman said today that the Japanese have dispatched reinforcements to Northern IndoChina, apparently to discourage any large allocation of Chinese reinforcements to the Burma front. The spokesman said the Japanese had built defence works in Burma and added that Japanese air raids recently on strategic points in the Chekian and Kiangsu provinces had been dictated by fear that these areas might be used as bases for Allied attacks against Japan. Three thousand Japanese, the spokesman observed, were busy last week attempting to clear guerillas from the northern area and the enemy had begun a southward drive at Hangkow, where guerillas likewise were active.
