JAPAN PREPARES FOR
LONG WAR
"Central Regime" To Be Formed At Peiping
Tokyo, January 17. "
It is generally assumed that the statement issued by Japan yesterday regarding her fundarmentat polley towards China does not represent the whole of the decisions reached at last week's numerous conferences, nor those of the Cabinet.
The Japanese, press stresses the necessity for consolidating Japan's Internal system spiritually, financially and materially first to cope with long term hostilities, and secondly to replen- Ish supplies and war materials against future contingencies.
The necessity is also urged for accelerating and strengthening Japanese relations with the oc- cupled areas and their regimes in order to ensure the perfection of Japan's preparations and arrange- ments and to eliminate General- issimo Chiang Kai-shek's resis- tance.
JAPAN'S POLICY CRITICISED
London Journal's Opinion
BITTER BATTLE EXPECTED
Chinese Offensive On All Fronts
Hankow, Jan. 17., Military circles here believe that the Chinese armies will shortly launch an offensive on all fronts.
Transocean's representative is reliably, Informed that this offen- sive may be expected within the next two weeks and that it has been prepared by recent concen- trations of troops 0.5 well as measures taken by Generalisalmo Chiang Kai-shek for reorganisa- tion of the while Chinese officers corps.
It is anticipated that the strug- cle will be especially bitter on the northern, front where on the one hand the Japanese are apparently determined to capture Hsuchow, importans rallway junction on the Tientsin-Pakow Railway line, at all costs as proved by their ad- vance on the city from four sides simultaneously; on the other hand the Chinese are not less deter- mined to resist to thefs uttermost

JAPAN MUST ALTER
POLICY
Hankow, Jan. 17. China has not accepted Japan's peace proposals. China will con- tinue to organise its resistance to Japan with all means at its dis- posal, but is now as ever ready to make peace with honour.
This is the impression gained by Transocean's Rankow repre- sentative after a number of con- versations with leading Chinese In government circles. Al! em- phasise that there is no possibility of peace as long as Japan is not prepared to change Its policy com- pletely towards China.
the same time. importance is attached to the fact that never since the outbreak of hostilities has China refused peace negotia- tions. The door to peace is not shut now, but study of the un- official Japanese peace proposala have led the Chinese authorities to conclude that these proposals offer no basis for negotiations ac- ceptable to China.- Transocean News Service.
A new Chinese regime, estab. lished and maintained by bayonets, may have all the characteristics agreeable to Japanese taste, but it will hardly be genuinely Chinese. It will be an exotic in uncon genlal soll, it may bloom for a sea- son but will strike no roots,
SANCTIONS ATTACHED
The Journal asks if the new re- gime will be any more than u satrapy of Tokyo, and says that meanwhile General Chiang Kai- shek, and all that he stands for, will continue to exist, and it may well be that the growth of the new Chinese regime will be slower than expected.
How the intention, to respect the territorial integrity and sover- eignty of China is to be reconciled with armed occupation of Chinese provinces and virtual deposition of the accredited Chinese Govern- ment will require very
subtle diplomacy to explain.
The article concludes by describ ing the international labour plan of sanctions as a mischievous i trusion which could only ein barrass diplomacy without restraining
·aggression.-Router,
BATTLE ON TSINPU LINE BELIEVED IMMINENT
Chengchow, January 17."
With the timely arrival of crack Chinese reinforcements at various points along the southern section of the Tientsin-Pukow Rallway, a major battle between the opposing forces is believed by competent, observers to be imminent.
Despite strenuous Japanese attempts at capturing Hauchow and cutting off Chinese communications along the Lungbal Rail- way, Chinese forces are Folding their own' ground firmly.
Small units of Japanese troops continue to hold Tsining at the railway station and its vicinity. Reinforced Chinese, troops, how ever, are rapidly advancing and it is hoped an encircling movement will put the Invaders to rout.
Large detachments of Japanese -forces, in the meantime, are rush- ed from the northern bánk of the Yellow River to replete their com rades on the Talipu section.

TO BALANCE BUDGET,
Canton, Jan. 17. In spite of adverse effects on government finance by the war, Mayor Tsang Yang-fu in his con- current capacity as Commissioner of Finance has mapped out a plan
said to be to prevent the Japanese concentrating sufficient troops at any given point to enable them to break through the Chinese lines.
It is believed that the offensive will begin on the northern front where the concentration of Chinese forces along the Tientsin- Pukow, Pelping-Hankow, and Lunghal Railways has now been completed."
