Tokyo, Aug. 9.
Events of the past month are considered to have greatly aggravated the situation in North China and it is feared that the struggle there is likely to be protracted and on a large scale.'
Now that the Japanese communities have been evacuated from the Yangtze Valley and Sino-Japanese relations have been virtually severed, hostilities are expected to open in the course of a week.
According to the Nanking correspondent of the Tokyo Nichi Nichi, the Japanese Embassy staff decided at a conference that it would be useless for Mr. Shigeru Kawagoe, the Japanese Ambassador, to go to Nanking, as no peaceful settlement by diplomatic negotiation is possible in view of the present conditions.
It has been decided, therefore, that Mr. Kawagoe will not visit Nanking for some time.-Reuter,
CHINA WILLING TO NEGOTIATE
Nanking, Aug. 9.
Defining the Chinese Government's attitude should the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Shigeru Kawagoe, desire to open negotiations, a spokesman of the Foreign Office said to-day there would be no objection to such negotiations as long as diplomatic relations were broken off.

But he added that Sino-Japanese relations had reached such a critical stage that the issue of peace or war would have to be determined almost at once.- Renter.

Dramatic Story of Dive Into Sea, and Rescue
After a rescue race to the scene where the big northbound China National Aviation Corporation plane crashed yesterday morning, a little while after leaving Hongkong, the destroyer, H.M.S. Thracian slipped into harbour at 6.45 am. to-day with the eight survivors from the ill-fated plane.
There were eleven men aboard the Sikorsky flying boat when she roared away from Kai Tak early yesterday. At 10.05 a.m., when nearing Chilang Point, 80 miles away, she came down on the sea owing to bad weather. Her wings torn off, eight men succeeded in crawling through a broken window and clinging to the floats until they were rescued by a sampan. Three are feared to have been trapped inside the water-logged hull and to have perished.
