AIRFIELD SITES
SOUGHT BY JAPANESE IN CHINA. IN HOPE OF COUNTERING ALLIED ATTACKS. (By Telegraph—Press Association— Copyright) (Received This Day, 9.40 a.m.) CHUNGKING, September 24. The Japanese are seeking sites in the Kwangtung and Fukien provinces for large airfields to counter possible Allied bases in East China from which Japan could be bombed. Stating this, a Chinese Army spokesman, Major Geral Pao-kai, ascribed the recent Japanese attack on Santao Island to fear of the harbour being used as an Allied submarine base. He said the Japanese were driven out on the same day as they landed.
The spokesman added that 13 engagements had occurred on different Chinese fronts in the past week, with the Japanese taking the initiative in five and the Chinese in eight.
