Hankow, Feb. 11.
All rumours of peace negotiations between China and Japan were indirectly refuted by Mr. Shao Li-tze, Minister of Publicity, when addressing a reception given yesterday afternoon by the Chinese Anti-Aggression League.
Mr. Shao said that while China appreciates the friendly support given her, she must live up to the expectations of her friends by continuing resistance against Japan in a determined and vigorous manner.
He added: "We know clearly who

General Chen Ming-shu, why com- munded the 19th Route Army before the fight against Japan in 1932, abo spoke. He emphasised that surren- dering to aggression would not only fail to end aggression, but would serve to encourage violation of peace and order. The only way to end aggression would be for all pencv- loving nations and peoples to make concerted efforts.
Another reception is being given this afternoon by the Chinese People's Foreign Relations Association, of which Mr. Wang Ching-wel will preside-Reuter,

But we ask netions and a boycoll depriving Japan of all, cotton, industrial equip- ment and credit. Sanctions do not mean war; but they would weaken Japan so much that she would be unable to fight China; much less challenge new enemier."

We are confident they are also on our side in this war, not because of their trade interests but because of their wish to support righteousness," said Mr. Shao.
