CHINESE PRESS TAKES COURAGE FROM TOKYO POLITICAL CRISIS

The resignation of the Konoye Cabinet represents the first sign of Japan's political collapse, de- clares the "Ta Kung Pao” in an editorial on the latest Japanese Government change.

The journal believes that general collapse of Japan's economic structure and social order is inevitable.
