Is it not fute 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 fulfi the obligations? If China wants pence (at least temporary peace) I think your the readers will agree with me only way is to be friends with the Japanese and carry out the Asia- tic policy

Exciting Soccer Ou St. Joseph's Ground-
A slow but exciting game of football was played yesterday at the St. Joseph's ground between the Royal Army Service Corps and the "C" Company of the Seaforths, ending in a win for the former.
Play during the half time was even, but the Scotsmen. had the better of the exchanges in the early stages of the second half- Indeed, they would have scored but for the excellent work of Pte. Murray, the R.A.S.C. centre-half whose speed and quick eye frus- trated many fine efforts by the Seaforths.
Later, the Service Corps men as- sumed the aggression and repeated attacks aw the defence beaten several times, although only tw goals were registered.
Both goal-keepers were out- standing, but Keating of the Sea- forths was the Harder worked. saving several splendid shots.

"Reader and L/Cpl. Beasley for the Service Corps, while Pte. Russell netted the single goal for the Seaforths.
Instead of contributing to the League of Nations I think it would be better for China to use her money for buying arms. If China wins the war it will be a blessing to the League, as one of the world's : aggressive powers would have been eliminated, but should Japan win the war, do your read- ers think that the world can ever have peaceYours etc..
