THE CHINA MAIL, MARCH 25, 1940
CHUNGKING UNWORRIED Wang Ching-wei "Government" Changes Nothing
FUNDAMENTAL ISSUES NOT
AFFECTED
" (SPECIAL TO CHINA MAIL ")
Chungking, To-day.
FORMATION OF WANG Ching-wei's government brings now change whatsoever in the Sino- Japanese situation and China is determined to continue the war of national resistance even if it takes years to put an end to the Japanese grip on China; such was the impression gathered by the Havas representative in official quarters here.

Paris, To-day.
men
It is reported that among the M. Reynaud will call upon to assist at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will be M. Guy de Girard de Charbonniere, First Secretary to the French Embas- sy in London.
His knowledge of Britain and Bri- tish opinion will be valuable in strengthening the close collaboration of the two countries.-Havas.
GERMANY'S PEACE BARRAGE
(SPECIAL TO “CHINA MAIL")
Paris, To-day. Commenting on the German "Easter
propaganda barrage" on the Western Front by placard, loudspeaker and leaflet, Radio Paris commented that the display bored the French troops as much as usual, or even more than usual, "because the French like variety, even in lies!"
The Germans also tried to discredit the R.A.F.. raid on Sylt, and raised their total of British 'planes brought down from the original, correct figure
of "one" to "three."-Havas.
NAZI TRY-ON AGAINST R.A. F.
(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")
Brussels, To-day.
In connection with Nazi reports of R.A.F, violations of Belgian neutrality,
Wang Ching-wei's government may bring certain help to the Japanese militarists by confusing the situation in attempting to transform
the pre-
sent war of national resistance into a civil war facilitating Japanese ex- ploitation of the economic wealth of the occupied areas and finally by raising among the Japanese popula- tion hopes that a solution of the China Incident will be reached.
Wang Ching-wei, however, is utter- ly unable to modify the fundamental issue at stake, it is opined here.
Politicians note with satisfaction that the "new order in East Asia" has apparently failed to impress the big powers whose attitude toward China is unchanged.

GOLDMINE IN HOUSE
While cleaning up at her home, Mrs. G. Stubbs, of Lorne-street, Dhosddu, Wrexham, young wife of a 2s. a day gunner, came across a do- cument which she believes makes her heiress to a large estate in Guiana, South America.

A goldmine, four large quarries, a large plantation growing rice, coffee, lemons, grape-fruit and coconuts were mentioned in the document left her by her cousin, Mr. Hector Handel Grif: fiths.
Mrs. Stubbs told a reporter: "Mr. Griffiths had been in South America for many years. He came on holiday to Wrexham.
NURSED NIGHT AND DAY
"He became ill. I nursed him day and night, but he died on November 7."
During his illness he told her, "I will not forget you," but Mrs. Stubbs was unaware of the existence of a will until she found it while sorting some old papers.

"

Sweden has lost 40 ships and 299- seamen; and
