A
protest
was
sent
to
the

by

yesterday
at
the
fact
that
Robert

who

The

Is
being
requested
to
prohibit
Americans
from

ac
tively
against
the
Japanese.

It
is
declared
that
many
of
the

of
the

are
manned
by
foreigners
particularly
Americans.
Aircraft

play
a

and
more
important
part
In

conflict
here.
The
Japanese
excel
the
Chinese
considerably
In
this
form
of
warfare.
China
is
virtually
making

ot
Robert
Short.
The
