GERMANY AS THE
MEDIATOR?
Growing Optimism In Berlin
Berlin, Nov, A.
A strong current of optimism is noticeable in German political .circles at the possibility that Sino- Japanese hostilities will be brought to an end in the not dis- tant future, and the hope amount- ing to belief is that Germany will be the mediator.
It is pointed out that Germany 19 in a particularly favourable position to mediate, because she has fewer material interests in the Far East than most other Powers represented at the Brussels Con- terence.

Brussels, Nov. 6.
The Nine-Power Conference on. the Far Eastern conflict worked quickly this morning in drafting a letter to Japan, which was finally approved and despatched to Tokyo..

Neither proposed essential modi- acation in the document, and agreement on the final terms was soon reached.
It is also emphasised that cer- many no longer has any con- cessionis In China, and has made a point of observing the strictest Impartiality during the conflict.
This latter argument is also pre- sented as the reason for Germany's non-attendance at Brussels.
Confirmation of a report'that Japanese peace terms are already in the hands of the German Gov- ernment, is hitherto unobtainable, but it is not yet denied.
The conclusion strongly emerges that something in the nature of mediation is certainly moving.-- Reuter.

A murder and a suicide were the results of theft of a British exciting Embassy car and chase through the streets of Paris last night.
The incident occurred in the centre of the capital, near Notre Dame, where A British Embassy car had been left by the curb by the chauffeur who was seated at a boulevard cafe.
The, chauffeur's time was rudely interrupted by a motor-car thief. who jumped into the car and drove off at high speed.
-Luckily a motor-cycle policeman was at hand and he immediately gave chase, together with the chauffeur, who grabbed another motor-cycle.

Bolshevism Must Be Combatted
Berlin, Nov. 6.
Ger-
Italy's adhesion to the mano - Japanese anti-Comintern Pact is prominently featured by the German newspapers.
The papers unanimously de- clare that the principles on which the original", "Germano-Japanese agreement were based, remain un- changed, in other words, that the Pact was not directed against a third party and is purely defen- sive in character.
The semi-official organ "Diplo- matic and Political Correspon- dence" says that Italy's adhesion to the Pact is the logical outcome of the situation since Germany and Italy have been in agreement for so long a time, that Bolshevism must be combated.
The paper also emphasises that the anti-Comintern Pact is not directed against any state or na- tion but is merely intended to re- pel the Bolshevist threat.
CHINA'S VIEWS
The Nazi paper "Der Angriff" says that Italy's adhesion to the Pact at a time when the Far East
at Conference is meeting Brussels, is merely a coincidence, and that it would be absurd to construe the connection between the two events.
The paper emphatically denies thar the Pact has any anti-Chin- cse tendencies.
"China knows quite well what one can expect from Bolshevism.
"Marshal Chiang Kai-shek has expelled unwelcome guests from characteristic Moscow with his
