LONDON, Oct. 17- — Great
Britain waited todav the aero hour
for the opening of the Burma
Road from India into China in
tin* face of Japanese threats.
Japanese authorities stated that
their ais. craft would start bomb-
ing the iw.d the minute it o]H*n-
ed if the weather permitted.
The British government an-
nounced the o|M*ning of the road
as a source of supply to the Chi-
nese army after tin* closing of the
road from French Indo-China.
British circles stated that the ac-
tion followed the signing of the
German, Italian, Japanese pact
calling for joint agression on the
part of the three powers to form
their new world orders.
The Burma Road opening was
scheduled to occure at midnight
China time (11:30 a. in. C. S. T )
today.
MOSCOW, Oct. 17—The Soviet
official newspaper, the Red Star,
showed a growing sympathy to-
I ward Groat Britain by a story
‘ stating that the British are not
, only holding their own against the
Germans, but are able to take the
[offensive at any time.
i This press attitude indicates
i that the Soviet government might
[be trying to line up on the side
■of England in the face of a
Nari drive to the Near East.
