Canton, Oct. 7. "In invading Abyssinia, Italy is following Japan'a example in Manchuria and Japan is respon- sible for starting the aggression hall rolling," declared Mr. Chou Lu, Chancellor of Sun Yat-sen University and member of the South-west Political Couneli, in the memorial service at Chungshan Memorial Hal; this morning.
Stating that no rellance should be laid on treaties guaranteeing peace, Mr. Chou stressed that a nation must depend on itself for existence and salvation. He said that the resistance put up by Abyssinia had brought national support.
"Most active in supporting Mr. Ethiopia is Great Britain," Chou continued. "At the League of Nations, Britain is championing collective security. Even France which has been friendly to Italy has agreed-to-join-cause with Great Britain.
"For their own interests, other countries arc also supporting Abyssinia. The condition of sub- port is that Abyssinia is determin- ed to fight.
"On the other hand, there was no support, even verbal, given to China by the Powers," Mr. Chow Bald.
