ARMS AND THE

ENGLISHMAN

There can be little, doubt as to the main trend of British opinion regarding the traffic in arms. It is against war, and it is against anything likely to provoke war. It has been much stirred by the Senate inquiry in the United States find it is ready to believe that many of those who stand to profit by the sale of arms have used their in- fluence to promote a war spirit, The increasing force of this opinion is illustrated in the promise of the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs to institute an inquiry into the British munitions business.

The problem is not a simple one, as Sir John Simon was able to show in an earlier statement, in which he declared that an arms inquiry was undesirable. Unfortunately, on that occasion he overstated the case for the existing system and defended it with the arguments, of a partisan: and so did less than Justice to his Government. Pact- fists may have, underestimated the difficulties and the Secretary for Foreign Affairs would have done well to correct their mistakes with- out disparaging their enthusiasm.

Peking Council Surprised

At Japanese Action

Pelping. "January 20. The Pelping Military Council in a communique, expresses surprise at the Japanese military prepara- tion in Jehol as they consider that there is no dispute. concerning the Chiangliang "territory which lies east of Kuyuak.

The communique states that not only Chinese but foreign maps for years have always shown this area Inside Chahar and outside Jehol Province. It denies that there are any troops in that area and only a few militia who police the area. It is regrettable, that Japanese And puppet regime troops when relations between China and the Three Eastern Provinces are im- proving should suddenly claim the territory and start to take forcible measures for possession of it.
