Recent Chinese defeats and the
possibility that the American

an atmosphere of gloom today
in this capital unmatched since
the dark days when China was
fighting the war alone.
There is no doubt in Chung

Japan but the consensus of both
Chinese and Americans seems to
be that the war has been pro
longed for several months al
ready as a result of the recent

In addition the prestige of the

been harmed. This is important
