Berlin today, over the radio, ad- mitted the severity of the raid and admitted also that the de- struction had been vast.

ASKS FORCE BE~ | SENT 0 CHINA| MADAME CHIANG KAI-SHEK | MAKES SUGGESTION TO UNITED STATES (By Associated Press) WASHINGTON, Mar. 6— Madame Chiang Kai-Shek’s sug- gestion that the United States) send an expeditionary force to China to help fight the Japs eli- cited adverse comment from mili- tary men here. The time is too premature, they said. Only one road, that leading from India, is now available for the sending of supplies to China, which would make it almost im- possible to keep American troops properly equipped during what probably would turn out to be sev- eral months’ of hard fighting. Even were the Burma Road open, one speaker said, it would not provide sufficient entrance into China to keep up a steady stream of sufficient supplies and munitions for a large American force. = The time for such a force, it was added, will be when the seas in the vicinity of China are cleared of large contingents of Jap war- ships, so that supplies could reach China by water as well as over the land. Meanwhile, the United States has stepped up sending supplies to China in as large a volume as transportation facilities permit. LaCONCHA HOTEL CHARLES M. SALAS. Mgr.
