THE CHINA MAIL, JULY 30, 1937.
BELIEVES CHINA SITUATION STILL OPEN TO PEACE NEGOTIATIONS
Berlin, To-day.
The fighting in North China is being made the main news story in all the German newspapers, while political circles eagerly follow the latest de- velopments. Hope has not yet been abandoned here that a twelfth-hour understanding may be reached.
One paper heads its reports "Struggle for whole of China; War without formal declaration."
The paper publishes a statement made by an unnamed official, said to be "near to the Nanking Government," according to which Nanking is re- solved to break off diplomatic relations with Tokyo but will abstain from a formal declaration of war, which would be contrary to the provisions of the Kellogg Pact.
-WESTERN PACT BID
London, To-day. --Official- circles in London con- firm that a memorandum carry- ing the Western Pact conversa-- tions a stage further and review- Eng the present position, was handed to the Belgian, French, German-and Italian Governments a few days ago-Reuter.
KWANTUNG GOVERNOR'S RETURN
"WHOLE COUNTRY BEHIND CHIANG”
The whole country is behind Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in his policy of resistance to foreign: agression. The feeling of China is "Peace or War with honour.”
Thus said Governor Wu' Te-chen on his arrival in the Colony this.
The statement says that Nanking | anticipates that it will not be pos- sible to confine hostilities to North China, and that the fighting will soon spread to Central and South Chida.
The possibilities of maintaining peace, says the statement, terve now been exhausted.
Chinas has shown-res tience but once the strungle has begun the whole of China will wage it to the bitter end.
The newspaper "Lokalenzaiger” says it is remarkable that the Nanking Government still con- tinues to stress it
readiness to negotiate with Tokyo, and appar- ently only insists that initiative for re-opening negotiations should come from Japan.
NOT IRREVOCABLEZ
The paper is inclined to believe that the dice have not yet irrevo- cably been cast.
In spite of the present fighting the paper advises, its readers not to attach too much importance to despatches on the subject, since exaggerations are mevitable in such a situation Trans-Ocean.
