:

"LONDON, JULY 29.

THE MANCHESTER GUARDIAN" TO-DAY COMMENTS THAT THE JAPANESE SHOULD REALISE BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE THAT THE CHINESE PEOPLE DO NOT EASILY TOLERATE THE PRESENCE OF A NEW INVADER IN PEKING. THEY SHOULD CONSIDER THE COMMAND- ING POSITION THEY ALREADY "ENJOY IN THE FAR EAST, AND THE PROSPERITY THAT JAPAN MIGHT GAIN BY LIVING IN PEACEFUL TERMS WITH HER NEIGHBOUR, HER PRESTIGE AND

MIGHT IS NOT QUESTIONED:

ARDENT HEE MOST

"MILITARISTS ADMIT THE CONQUEST OF CHINA IS NO LONGER PRACTICABLE. BER ECONOMISTS KNOW HOW GREAT WILL BE THE STRAIN OF A WAR IF IT IS WITHOUT A MORAL AND LEGAL' CASE AND WITH NOTHING TO GAIN 'AND EVERYTHING TO LOSE.

·JAPAN NOW PURSUES THE WAR SHE BEGUN AND SHE DOES SO CONDEMNED BY THE WHOLE WORLD, THE PAPER ADDS.

THE "BIRMINGHAM POST" STATES;-

WE CAN SEE NOTHING AT THE MOMENT TO STAND IN THE WAX OF WAR AFTER JAPAN'S SUCCESSFUL AGGRESSION IN MANCHURIA. NO JAPANESE SOLDIER FEARS AND NO CHINESE STATESMAN HOPES THAT FOREIGN INTERVENTION WILL SERIOUSLY INFLUENCE THE ISSUE. THE WEST SURRENDERED THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE DIRECTLY AND ONE WONDERS WHETHER INDIRECT INTERFERENCE IS EQUALLY, RULED OUT. THERE MIGHT NOT BE A REASSERTION OF THE OPEN DOOR POLICY EVEN NOW TO INFLUENCE SINO-JAPANESE POLICY BY CHECKING SOME JAPANESE HOPES AND 'ALLAYING SOME CHINESE FEARS."

EARLY SETTLEMENT MAY BE EFFECTED

LONDON: NEWSPAPERS HERE GIVE PROMINENCE TO EVERY PHASE OF THE SINO- JAPANESE CONFLICT, ACCOMPANIED BY ARTICLES DESCRIBING THE LOCALITY AND BACK- GROUND OF THE QUARREL. INQUIRES BY REUTER IN FAR. EASTERN CIRCLES REVEAL A DIVERSITY

IS OF OPINION. IT IS GENERALLY ACCEPTED THAT TOKYO

ANXIOUS TO MOST DAMAGING TERMINATE THE QUARREL AS EARLY AS POSSIBLE OWING TO THE EFFECT ON JAPANESE TRADE. ON THE OTHER HAND IT IS FEARED THAT THE KUANTUNG ARMY MAY NOW HAVE GOT THE 'BIT BETWEEN THE TEETH WHILE THE NATIONWIDE ANTI-' THE JAPANESE FEVER IN CHINA FURTHER OBSTRUCTS THE CHANCES OF SETTLEMENT.

JAPANESE ONCE THE MAJORITY VIEW IS THAT SOME WAY OUT WILL BE FOUND BY THE 29TH ARMY IS EXPELLED. THIS MAY PROVE REASONABLE OWING TO THE SUICIDAL EFFECT OF ANY DRACONIAN RUTHLESSNESS.—REUTER. "
