FAR EASTERN SITUATION AND EUROPEAN WAR
With China keeping up her staunch resistance Japan would only spell her doom if she sought" new adventures in the Far East by taking advantage of the spreading of the European War. This opinion was expressed by the Ta Kung Pao, Influentia Chinese daily, in a leader yesterday, commenting on the Far Eastern situation after Italy's entry into the armed conflict in Europe.
Italy's entry into the war, the paper said, has apparently aroused Japan's ambition for new adven- tures. Her recent compromising attitude toward the Soviet Union, her proposals for the windrawal of garrisons of third Powers in China and her treaty with Thai- and all point to her eagerness to carry out her southward expan sion polley. Bet declaration of non-involvement in the European turmoil is only a smoke-screen
