As regards the circumstances attending the disclosure of the international control proposal. it has transpired that an inti- ante friend and colleague of Mr. Hoover, Secretary of Commerce, happened be iscussing the chaotic situation in Chin with a friend at a dinner

Washington une evening. The Cabinet member, dwell- ing on the population question in Japan. justifed Japan's desire to secure un out lut for her surplus population and, after emphasising the necessity of formulating some proper proposal pertaining to the control of China. stated that America most recognizo Japan's rational requests; and at the same time must show a definite and reasonable attitude toward China.

The atterance of the speaker, who spoke in an unusually loud tone, attracted the attention of those present, and a certain well-known American newspaperman, who was among the guests, took note of the tterance and published it, with per- mission of the speaker.

Such is the fact behind the story, and in this way the report was circulated as something approximating aidefinite policy of America toward Chioa.

It cannot, of course, be called a definite plan of the Washington Administration. but it is undeniable that the idea of international control over China is in the minds of influential officials of the Wash; ington Administration.

At the same time, it is also clear that whatever may be the significance of the proposal. the underlying motive is good will toward Japan,"

A high Japanese official in Washington. talking on the subject is credited with the following statement:--

Ther

proposal of international control over China speaks, in itself, the coming turn in American sentiments toward Japan and China. China still conducts her propaganda with unabated energy and enthusiasm, but its echo is growing very feeble and insignificant, and the opinion and sentiments in officialdom are fast growing in favour of Japan:
