CHINESE WILL FIGHT TO BITTER END: Quo Tai Chi No Alternative But To Continue Resistance

Ambassador's

Address At Trade Union Club

London, To-day.

The determination of the Chinese people to fight to the bitter end and until an equitable and last- ing peace could be obtained had been strength- ened, said the Chinese Ambassador in Lon- don, Mr. Quo Tai-chi, speaking at the National Trade Union Club in London last night.

The whole country was behind the leadership of

General Chiang Kai-shek.

The Japanese peace terms were a fraudulent at-

tempt to make China a vassal state.

JAPANESE CRISIS The Ambassador expressed opinion that the Japanese Cabinet crisis is indicative of the increas- ing difficulties with which Japan is now compelled to cope. The in- creasingly favourable attitude of the Western Powers, particularly England and America, have had an encouraging effect on the Chinese people.-Trans-Ocean.
