POSSESSION OF WENCHOW CHINESE AGA’M ATTACKING AMERICAN ENVOY’S VISIT TO CHUNGKING. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 11.45 a.m.) CHUNGKING. July 31. Severe fighting around Wenchow, which has been captured for the second time by the Japanese, is reported in a communique. The Chinese cut the enemy’s supply lines and killed 300 Japanese in an engagement near Juian, 13 miles south of Wenchow. The Chinese are said to be' gaining the upper hand in an endeavour to expel the Japanese from Wenchow for the second time. Mr Lauchlin Currie, entrusted by President Roosevelt with a special mission to China, conferred with General Chiang Kai-shek. A spokesman said: “Mr Currie’s present visit will be even more fruitful than his first. China is putting every ounce of energy into the war, but she still has needs which can be filled only from outside. China will ask from Mr Currie more planes and also a rather long list of other war tools.”
