THE WOMEN'S' INTERNATIONAL LEAGUE SENT LETTERS TO THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR AND MR. ANTHONY EDEN, THE FOREIGN SECRETARY, AS WELL AS LORD CRANBORNE. THE LETTER TO ME. EDEN ULGES THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT TO BRING FRESSURE ON THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT TO PUT A STOP TO "THIS MASSACRE,” AND ALSO ASKS THE BRITISH DELEGATION TO THE LEAGUE OF NATIONS TO DO THEIR UTMOST TO ENSURE THAT THE LEAGUE'S ADVISORY COMMITTEE ON THE FAR EAST WILL TAKE UP, IMMEDIATELY, THE QUES- TION OF THIS BOMBING BY JAPAN.--REUTER.

Shanghai: No importance is attached by Chinese circles to the statement by the Japanese army spokesman in Peiping that the Japanese army welcomes the change in the atmosphere which will en- able them to halt the hostilities. Chinese circles declare that the change of attitude referred to means the substitution of surrender for resistance and add that this is Impossible. If, however, the Japanese army are prepared to abandon their aggression and måke terms which would not violate China's so- vereignty and territorial integrity, then peace might be 'discussed.---
