4. CHID'NGKING had further viotories to report last week. According to Chinese
Nationalist commentators, the w'ar 8i tuationin western HUNAN is such that after
60 days of fighting the Japs can no longer expend troops in oounterattacks, and
CHUNGKING troops oan now move ahead. Japs oontinued to wi thdrf.\.w from FUKIEN"
CHEKIANG, HONAN and KWANGSI, CHUNGKING reported. Progress was also reported in
KWANGSI and KWAlJGTUNG Provinces.
a. YENAN political reports stated that the Chinese Communist Party would not
partIoipate in the People's Political Councia, soon to be held in CHUNGKING, "as
it was undemocr~tic." Other YENAN broadcasts described student unrest inCHl~rGKING
areas over dict~torial methods employed in seats of Chinese learninge ~ntellig8nce
reports e,manating from YENAN stated that conditions in JAPAN during air raidswer€
growing worse, with tneJUuting the£ts" espeoiaLly in foodstuffs and household goods
occurring. This report went on to assert that confidence inthe Jap .government is
waning as Japs" about to be evacuated are W'l thdravv-ing thei r postal savings on the
spot, rather than at their final destination where this could also be done.
Quantitios of J~p equipment were reportee seized~n18n retre~ting Japs employing
Chinese coolie labor were ambushed. Military gai.ns Were reported only in SHANTUNG
wh(;!re Chinese Communists troops were said to have increased their terri tory by ad...
