London, Apr. 5. Mr. Sun Fo, well-known Chinese politician and son of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen, addressed a meeting of members of the House of Commons to-day, and said that Chinese resistance to Japanese aggression was growing stronger, and that her fighting powers were improving.
The two essential conditions for victory, unity and determination, were being fulfilled in China to-day.
Every party and sect was solidly behind the Government and all were ready to lay down their lives, whether soldier, statesman, intellectual or student, but munitions were necessary. Supplies had been received, but they must be forthcoming continuously.

Japan expected to win the war within three months, using 400,000 She had used 800,000 and the men. war had gone on for nine months, with Japon no nearer victory.
The Chinese soldier had nothing to lose but n poor, miserable life, whereas the Japanese was fighting for something he could not under stand. He did not want to fight, but wanted to get back home as quickly as possible.

About 50 members nttended the meeting, the majority being Conser- vntives.
Mr. Sun Fo dealt with the military und political aspects of the present situation in Chinn, and claimed that China was more united thun ever before. He gave interesting details about the guerilla Warfare being carried on behind the Japanese lines, and expressed the opinion that China would surprise the world by her re- sistance, and that Japan might yet have to come to terms with China.—
