Paris, July 29. The Temps is now publishing a series of articles on the Far Eastern situation, wit ton by M. André Dalíosca, a reco- *Pacifo gnised authority on the Problem."

In his latest article, entitled "Nippono-American relations and the Manchurian State," Mr. Du bose writes as follows:

"It is assured everywhere that Japanese public opinion is forcing Tokyo to recognise the Manchurian State. On the other hand, the Chi- nese are dealing with the provinces forming this State, as with rabels. Under the circumstances the end of these adventures does not seem

to be near yet.

"However, we must take into account the rapidity, one may even any the briskness with which politi. eal situations are changing in the Far East.

"To study the, Pacific Problem' we must study the relations be tween America and Japan, as re- gards the Manchurian Stato."
