For sonie little time the situation in China has been one of tjie most disturbing factors jn the general war picture. It was, therefore, most gratifying to get the good news yesterday from that theatre that the siege of Hengyan 1, which had been made a' virtual Chinese Stalingrad, had been broken and that the Japanese forces which had by-passed that ijnpprtant Chinese transportation centre had been successfully thrown back, thereby preventing the enemy from gaining control of the Canton-Hankow railway line and cutting China in two. The situation in China had. been looking really serious of late but there has now been a real and definite turn in the. tide there and, in this war of surprises, it is not beyond thp realm pf possibility that the Chinese, with what aid the Allies may be able to givej may now go pn to further success in the campaign to. liberate the Jong and brave fighting nation from the Nipponese aggressor. Details of troop movements and war Industry can ba cleverly pieced together by the enemy and provide a mass of useful Information to him. Deny him this advantage.
