The Government today must strive in its foreign policy "not only for peace in our time but for peace in yours. And if we are to have peace in your time, it means that in any agreements, we make today there must be no sacrifice of principles and shriäking of responsibilities merely to obtain quick results that may not be permanent. It is only by recognition and fulßlment of these principles and responsibilities that we shall lay the foundation on which you will have to bulld.

As a result of Shanghai's wave of terrorism, French police since the New Year have arrested 6.000 persons for questioning and seized 182 pistola.
PROUD OF CRIME The Chinese 'who were arrested yesterday morning after throwing bombs Into the Shanghai Evening Post and Mercury building.frankly admitted to the French Police that they had perpetrated the crime.
Although the police interrogated them at length, it is understood that it was unable to ascertain the names of the "master mind" behind the bombing or the motive for the crime.
In admitting their guilt, the bombers seemed quite proud that they had hurled the misslies.
