CORRESPONDENCE
World Peace
[To The Editor, "China Mail'' Sir, I presume your readers do not fail to feel that Japan is again testing the power and determination of the League of Nations and the signatory Powers of various pacts by ordering all the Embassies to leave Nanking. Even a child will be able to tell that Japan has no right to do so before she declares war on China. The Powers that complied with Japan's request certainly weakness and showed their cowardice. I believe the next step before she Japan will take, even could conquer China is to tell all the white people to leave China for good under the pretext that China is in a chaotic state and your readers will be surprised if the white people will not listen to her. Is it not futile for China to look *for peace
or assistance from the League of Nations? How many times has the league failed China and how do the signatories of the Nine Power Treaty and Kellogg | Pact fulfil the obligations? There- fore if China wants peace (at least temporary peace) I think your readers will agree with me the only way is to be friends with the Japan- ese and carry out the Asiatic Policy.
The world says. "Right is Might.” Is not China fighting for her rights and for the peace of the world
while the other signatory powers look on? China has determined to resist to the last man and many re- giments have proved this resolution by facts, not by mere boasting, when whole regiments were wiped out instead of surrendering.
Instead of contributing League of Nations I think China
•
would find it better to use her money for arms against an ag- gressor if she is prepared to resist. If China wins the war it is a bless- ing to the League, as one of thei world's aggressive Powers has been efrainated while China is à Peace- ful country, but should Japan win the War do your readers think that the world can have peace?
