SHOWDOWN COMING
IN WAR AGAINST JAPAN TENSE EXPECTANCY AMONG AMERICAN FORCES IN CHINA. , INCREASING OPTIMISM IN CHUNGKING. (By Telegraph—Prqss Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.0 a.m.) CHUNGKING, September 14. The journey across India to China convinces the most critical observer of the general high quality of the men and machines America is gathering for the approaching showdown against Japan, says an Associated Press correspondent. “Everywhere,” he adds,' “I found a tense expectancy among officers and men that the Allied blow will be struck within three months—perhaps not the main event, but at least an important preliminary. “Most of the speculation pivoted on Lord Mountbatten’s role, a clarification of which is expected soon after his visit to Chungking. Optimism in Chungking is growing. Observers who recently thought the war against Japan would be a long drawn out conflict now admit the possibility of a short term."
