The Chinese correspondent of the "Malaya Tribune" writes as follows:-

At this time, when the danger of a major Sino-Japanese wär looms high on the horizon, it will be interesting to estimate the chances of both sides. The world, has been kept in fairly close touch with developments in North China, but in the following para- graphs the writer hopes to lay all the cards on the table.
