RANGOON, Buma.—Every day and every night, the whir of 3,000 loaded trucks hums and re-echoes over the rocky gorges and d«p ravines which surround the vital road bringing supplies from the democracies of the West to the heart of blockaded China. Top ping mountain ranges and slither ing through malarial valleys, nar rowing to 9 feet in some places and widening to 16 in others, what was once a caravan route for Chi nese silk merchants has now be come a 1,500-mile highway con necting China with her Allies. When Japanese invaders seized the China coast in 1937, the Bur ma Road was only a muddy trail for mule trains carrying native produce from and to China. But China, anticipating severance from the outside world, had al ready allocated $2,000,000 for the construction of a modern road from Lashic, terminus of the Bur ma railroad, to Kunming, China. Every coimfy along the proposed highway was assigned its stretch of the road. From villages and towns bordering the old silk route poured almost 1,000,000 workers, men, women and children, bring ing food, pickaxes, make-shift shelters. Mwy of the. workers died from malaria; often mon soons washed away sections of the new road; but the work per sisted. In two years, 800 miles of road crossing nine 5,000-foot ridges were completed. By 1939 strategy. With a monthly capacity of 40,000 tons, the Burma high way has seen an increase in the jtransport of military supplies from 3,804 tons to 17,500 tons in four months, and this in the face of in creased raids by Japanese bomb ers. Planes have arrived at Ran goon to reinfoixie the Amerwan- built—and partly American- manned—Curtiss P-40’s (or "Tom ahawks”) which now patrol tlie road. Anti-cdrcraft guns are being mounted at the two suspension bridges over the Salween and Me kong Rivers, and Chinese aranies have taken up stations in Burma, facing the Japanese forces in oc cupied Thailand.
