That is, it may be able in a few months to take that portion of China on which it is now concentrating. Actually, complete submission of China with her 2,000,000 men under arms and her many millions of population is a much larger problem. But from the military the certain victor due to its better trained personnel and far superior equipment, Rough figures of the com- parative strength of the two forces reveal: MEN army clared war heavy season Without outside most observers are intervention aid of belief to of at viewpoint, Japan is Seventeen divisions, and men, plus a native army of 100,000 to 150,000 by Japanese, Trained re- Japan—Standing 280,000 officers Manchukuoan men officered serves—2,000,000 China—soldiers owing and local war lords, totaling 1658.000 men, plus Chinese Com- munist irregulars in northwest provinces numbering 100,000 to 150,000 men.

China—Planes: Combat, first line—200 to 300 SHIPS Japan—Navy: 200 combatant ships of the five principal categories, totaling 745604 tons, plus smaller vessels. China—Navy: Nine light cruisers totaling 25,- 500 tons, all except two of them obsolete, plus smaller vessels. While sympathies generally may be with China, it is obvious from the foregoing figures why military authorities see quick victory for Japan. It is inevi- table, unless the untrained hordes of China are brought into the trained units that the Japanese boast. But as Lin Yutang, the brilliant Chinese scholar, points out in his “My Country and My People,” China has been conquered many times before by force of arms. But actually, she has never been conquered. The Mongol hordes rode over China in an earlier day. But the Mongol warriors have long since vanished and old China goes on in her own way and with her own quaint customs and traditions, The Japanese can kill a lot of Chinese. They can seize Chinese lands. But then they will not have conquered China. Her teeming millions will absorb any invaders which come within her borders. At any rate, they have been doing it for some 3,000 years and more, which is fair proof of her ability to survive. allegiance to Nanking about 160 divisions. first line, army and Incidentally, for one of the best books on old and modern China. and remarkably timely, Dr. Yu- tang’s “My Country and My People” is well worth reading.
