Solf declares It cannot be the task of Germany, or any other westerner at that, to side with elther China or Japan in the con- dict between the two countries, The former ambassador, however, positively asserts that Japan does desire an understanding with China and it is no secret that Marshal Chiang Kai Shek, for reasons of expediency, is not op posed to such understanding.

Solf concludes by saying that it would not be improper to express hope that both China and Japan will overcome their dimculties in the spirit of their best tradition.- Transocean Kuo Min.
