OUTLOOK NOT HOPEFUL

VIEWS ON BRUSSELS CONFERENCE-

London, Oct. 23. "In all the circumstances It .cannot be said that the outlook for the Brussels Conference is particu- larly hopeful," says "The Times" at the conclusion of a leading article this morning analysing the pros- pects of operations in China.

Japan says the journal. has in- dicated in advance the resentment and distrust with which she views outside attempts at mediation.

China has waged the struggle for existence with considerable suc- cess, and neither the temper of the people nor the considered policy of the Government at present wil tolerate for a moment the idea of peace save on terms wholly unac- ceptable to Japan.

"We have never heard of a fish- ing boat with such armaments," he said, and the Chinese testi- mony therefore must be taken as a confession that the allegedly at- tacked junks were pirate junks which infest the neighbourhood
