Burma Road shows perilous 700 mile trek to aid China
The Burma Road from Lashio in Burma to Yun Nan in China is the sole transit for munitions import to China against Japan. Reopened October 18 after a period of tension, the 725 mile route traverses wild terrain with natives carving a motor road by hand. Noted traveler Nicol Smith, with Paul Meyer and a Chinese companion, describes the journey and Marco Polo era echoes in a vivid account.

Cash War Warns Australians On Imports And War Costs
Paul Cheyne notes Sir Geoffrey Whiskard in Australia warns against spending on non essential imports from non sterling nations. He says every penny spent outside the British Empire weakens the capital fund, raises overseas borrowing, and strains the home savings fund. Britain spends about three and a quarter million pounds daily on the war.
