In China, government troops
were reported taking the upper
i hand, at least temporarily, in a
decisive battle 200 miles from
Nanking in the Suchow area. Com
munists Were said in field dis
patches to be giving ground on
the blanks. Chinese air support

lion men under arms and the
slates she dominates have 2,800,
000 more. He said this adds up to
! 250 combat divisions, five times
the combined forces of all the
western European nations.
Osborn said U. S. representa
tives in Russia noted some im
provement after the war, but this
I has slackened “because so much
Soviet production is going into
war production.” He said the
“shrill government propaganda”
is being used to prepare the Rus
j sians for war. There is evidence,
he went on ,that some Russian
leaders hold “a warped, twisted
: view of conditions outside the
Soviet union.”
Osborn, a specialist on atomic
1 questions, accused Russia specific
ally of destroying representative
governments, forcefully annexing
I territory, obstructing peace treat
ies, rejecting atomic control and
using 28 votes in the U. N. secur
; ity council. A Polish delgeate re
plied by repeating the familiar
i charge that the U. S. is preparing
for aggression.
France prepared to present to
the five-power London conference
a 50-year military treaty binding
the United States to Western Eu

Smith flew from Moscow to Ber
