ASIAN MARCH IN MOTION

U.S. Press Criticises Past Policies

Washington, Aug. 27,' "Perhaps we shall now see the beginning of the British awaken- ing to the significance of all that has been happening between the historic September 18, 1931, when Japan set her Asian march in mo- tion, and to-day," observes the Washington "Dally News," com- menting on the situation arising out of the wounding of the British Ambassador to China in attacks by two Japanese aeroplanes upon the diplomat's automobile, far behind the Chinese lines.

being what it is, the episode may prove a nasty shock to Downing Street, the paper goes on.

"It is high time Britain herself should act. We do not mean by war. On the contrary, Britain, more than any other power is in a position to influence Japan." She might induce Japan to return within the Nine Power Treaty. But Britain must get over. the negative habit of merely expecting every American to do his duty." the "Daily News" asserts.— Reuter.

Japanese Aggression

Paris, Aug. 27. The French Government is mak- ing contact with the British and American Governments with re- gard to the attitude to be adopted at the League of Nations meeting In September, when it is expected China will bring up the question of Japanese aggression.

The French Government is con- sidering whether

"demarche" should be made by the League to China and Japan, considering it should have weight if supported by Britain, France and the United States.
