spokesman at yesterday's ORGANISER the opinion that Marshal OF KEY Chiang Kai-shek now recog-

carry on resistance against the Japanese1and that there- fore China had only three courses left open.

"Firstly, to create a conflict between Japan and a third party power; se- condly to continue resistance with the assistance of third party powers, and thirdly to induce a third party to me- diate.

As regard the first point, the spokes-, man said that the outbreak of European war had prevented its exe- the cution. Similarly with the second point as no material aid could now be forthcoming.

Which leaves only the third course open to China. "This is their trump card. They are imploring the United States to mediate."

TRICKED!

The spokesman alleged that America was fully aware of the position and was not likely to be "tricked by China înto mediation."

He added that these facts coupled the "the increasing popularity of the support obtained by Wang Ching-wei in efforts to establish a Central Gov- ernment, placed Chungking in a ser- lous position."-Reuter.
