This announcement to tantamount
to a pledge that the red armies in the
field—and there are several of them—
will fight beside Oeneralisatmo Chiang

That'* of the utmost importance
not only to China but to the cause
of the United Nations.
China's gravest hour of trial in her
conflict with the Jepanese lies im-
mediately ahead. She to woefully

which she lacks equipment) and un-
limited courage and determination

The present Jap offensive along the

vide the crucial test. Should the Nip-

run the surrounding territory it might
