Chinese Minister Seos Trouble Ahead
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH” LONDON, Oct. 10 (UP)In an address to the Chinese Cam-1 paign Committeo at a Doublo Tenth luncheon, Mr. Quo Tai-chi, the Chinese Ambassador to London, predicted trouble ahead for the Western Powers interest- ed in the Far East.
"It does not require the gift of prophcey to predlet that Japan will certainly cxploit the European situation," he said.
"European preoccupation will be Japon's opportunity for further de- predations in East Asia and the Western Pacific, against the Western Powers as mueli ne against China."
Scotching rumours of mediation in the Sino-Japanese war, Mr. Quo, sald, "As “Jong as the Japanese war lorda remain in the saddle and in their present mood, there can be ne reasonable basis for negotiations and no hope for peace."
