CHINA STILL OPTIMISTIC ON BRUSSELS
-
Shanghai, To-day.
An interesting commentary on China's position in regard to the Brussels Conference has been furnished by the former Chinese Ambassador in Washington, Dr. Alfred Sze, who headed the Chin ese delegation to the Washington Conference which resulted in con- clusion of the Nine-Power Treaty fifteen years ago.
Dr. Sze declared yesterday that three facts showed the improve ment of China's position to-day as compared with 1922.
Firstly, China was to-day united, Secondly, Chinese troops had put up a vigorous resistance to the enemy, and
Thirdly, this armed resistance served to-day not only mainte ne of China's independence, but also the defence of civilisation.

FACTOR IN NORTH CHINA
Peiping, To-day.
The fog of secrecy which has enveloped Ja- panese operations in Shansi was lifted yesterday when the headquarters of the Japanese North China command admitted to a Trans-Ocean repre- sentative that General Chu Teh's former Red arm- ies are providing the Japanese with a serious pro- blem which may have a decisive effect on the future course of fighting.
Chinese quarters have been claiming for some time past that the reorganised Communist forces, now the 8th Route Army, have seriously damaged the Japanese lines of communication.
This is now admitted by the Ja-. panese, whose spokesman yester- day confessed that the Japanese advance had been altogether too rapid.
With lines of communication straggling for miles in mountain- ous country, and with their rear almost unguarded, the Japanese supply system has been badly dis- organised by repeated raids by the 8th Route Army.
SUPERB JUDGMENT
The spokesman revealed that after each raid, the moment for which was obviously chosen with superb generalship, the Chinese forces slipped away into the hills and nowhere had the Japanese man- conflict. aged to bring them into decisive
