A detachment of about 1,000 Japanese troops started an attack on Talyan on the morning of November 13 but were vigorously | repulsed by the Chinese forces, Further attacks have been launch- ed by the Japanese since then, and the opposing forces are locked in deadly engagements.

REASONED CONDEMNATION

OF JAPAN

London, Nov. 15.— The declaration of the Brussels conference, though couched tem- perately, is a reasoned condemna- tion of Japan, says the Times."

That Italy should hesitate to associate herself with the declara- tion is understandable, but Italy and Germany cannot view with unconcern the progress of events in the Far East, and the world's } reaction thereto, Mediation

by Germany has been discussed and would deserve general welcome.

The difficulties in the way of a settlement are enormous, but they have diminished in the past month. for the Japanese armies have won enough laurels in the eyes of the Japanese nation.

With the turn of the tide in Shanghai, Japan has the choice between incurring unlimited la- bilities in the future, or endeavour- ing to secure limited assete at

EVERY VICTORY A LUXURY Every fresh victory is a luxury which Japan' can fll afford. Her economic situation continues to ar- teriorate; she says she does not want territory out if she does what is she going to do with it? The only possible formula is the Man- churlan formula-military occupa- tion thinly disguised.

Such a regime in North China would be impossibly expensive both in men and money. Powers with Important Interests in the Far East and the Pacific will naturally take appropriate, and perhaps con- certed measures, to defend thèm militarily. Cheap victories may prove. politically too dear if they win permanently for Japan deep suspicion in the greater part of Europe and America.

VISIT

TO GERMANY

Press Speculation Denounced

Berlin, Nov. 14.

A statement issued by the Na tional Socialist party's official news service on the visit of Lord Halifax to Herr Adolf Hitler, which is given great prominence by the German press, deprecates the sensational attitude adopted by certain news- papers.

The papers generally speak "of Britain's desire to come to terms with Germany.. but do not discuss the possible subject of the talks which are to take place between Lord Halifax and the Fuehrer.

London, Nov. 14. There are reports in the Press of projected conversations in which the British Government would participate in several capitals in the near future

These reports, it is said, are mere conjecture and should be diş- regarded. The only such conversa- tions at present in contemplation are those in which the Lord Pre- beldent of the Council will be en- gaged during his visit to Germany next week.
