AFTER FIVE YEARS

CHINA FIGHTING BLOODY BATTLES NEED OF MECHANISED EQUIPMENT. CHIANG KAI-SHEK’S APPEAL. (Bv Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) LONDON, June 1. General Chiang Kai-shek, in a broadcast from Chungking last night, said that bloody battles were being fought in eastern and southern China. For five years, he said, China had stood up to the Japanese with inferior equipment and, at times, little more than bare hands. “Morale is not enough,” he declared. “It must be supplemented by mechanised equipment.” Voicing China’s need for planes and tanks, he said: “I pledge my word that given 10 per cent of the equipment produced in America, the Chinese army will give you 100 per cent the desired results.” He added that the principles of the Atlantic Charter should be applied not only to America and Europe, but also to all the peoples and races, so that freedom, justice and equality shall reign throughout the world. A Chungking communique gives no details of the Japanese advance since the fall of Kinhwa, but the Japanese themselves claimed yesterday that they were,;well beyond the city.
