Driving to block path to Japanese 'steamroller'. Picture just received in London of a procession of Chinese army cars steering, a rough passage over a narrow road in the Soochow District, Wester Shanghai, as Chinese forces struggle to hold up Japan's victorious sweep onwards to Nanking. As China strives to block Japan's path, a new situation has arisen in conquered Shanghai, where the Japanese are taking control of the customs and incurred the opposition of Britain, America and France. 28 November 1937
