SIGNIFICANCE OF OMISSIONS FROM YONAI'S STATEMENT

London, To-day.

"THE TIMES” DEVOTED ITS leading article yester- day to events in the Far East, of which the most important is the inauguration next Sunday of the "new Chinese regime to be styled the national government of China, under the rule of Wang Ching-wei and the control of Japan."

The editorial describes how "the con- ference of delegates from the occupied provinces of China and Inner, Mongo- lia, with Wang himself and the heads. of the "reformed" or client adminis tration of Peiping and Nanking, met last week at the latter city to organise the new government," and adds: "They were naturally well guarded for it is clear the Japanese Government and army are entirely committed to this experiment."

Tracing, the obstacles which have had to be met in preparing the stage for what, citing the words of its own correspondent, it calls "a carefully planned peace moye" which, the Ja- panese Government-believe will com pletely change the situation for them in China, the paper says that chief among the many difficulties of Wang himself "was and is the reluctance of many Chinese to regard him as any- thing but a deserter."
