CHINA NOT TOLL
RELAX IN WAR
OF RESISTANCE
Chungking, To-day.
CHINA WILL NOT RELAX her resistance to Japanese ag- -gression in spite of the favourable turn in the inter- national situation, and she will continue with her estab- lished policy, declared Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek in a press interview yesterday.
Generalissimo. Chiang said he was not surprised at the changes. The situation, he thought, would develop along a natural path and finally follow a trend bene- ficial to the world and mankind and compatible with the purpose of China's resistance.
China's resistance in the past two years, he pointed out, had made the people of the world realise the im- portance of peace, lest they should break too carelessly. The inter- national situation was following a tendency opposed to wars of aggres- sion and seeking the establishment of international justice.
Questioned whether, in his opinion, a European war could be averted, Generalissimo Chiang replied that only the Japanese militarists could hope for the outbreak of such a war. He has the profoundest admiration for the
peace efforts of President Roosevelt and other statesmen and wishes them every success.
