From October 2nd of this year there have been 3 services a week between Amsterdam and Batavia. With this regular connection the band between Holland and the Dutch East Indies has been con- solidated.

From each the plane leaves every Tuesday and Satur- day, while the arrival in Batavia is fixed for Mondays, Wednesdays. and Fridays. In Schiphol, how- ever, the machines arrive on Sun- days, Tuesdays and Thursdays. The outward journey takes 61 days days and the homeward Journey 51 days, during the winter season.

"All this news is not definite, and I can't say whether it is true or not. Nevertheless, it is possible, because the Japanese actions in China are not only the concern of China but of the whole world China is not fighting her own fight only, but she is fighting a battle for the peace of the world.

"II Russla considers that she must defend herself, then it is quite possible that she may put a large army in her Far Eastern territory. A future war between Japan and Soviet Russia might come true," was the General's re- ply.

Questioned on the threatened Japanese occupation of Shanghai, the General expressed the opinion that Japan hoped to captured the. Settlement but international cir- eumsances might not allow it. The reported intention of the Japanese to take control of the Settlement, said the General, was plainly an attempt to determine the attitude of the British Gov- ernment, which bad the largest in- terests at stake.

:

IT MAY BE HONG KONG "If the British attitude is strong. Japan will well understand what it may mean, and is likely to pat a stop to her foolish actions. But if it is the other way round, then Japan will be encouraged to per- Detrate further encroachments. It may be

Hong Kong to-morrow, and Singapore the day after that!" "In view of what it may lead to, do you consider it wise for the Japanese to carry out their an- nounced victory march through roads in the Settlement?"

"As a whole, the war is not a wise thing for Japan, and, this is only making a foolish action more foolish."

to

danger "What about the Nanking's occupation-will it bave any demoralising influence on the people?" the General was asked.

a small part "It may have on of the people," said the General, "To. those who are well aware of things, however, the occupation of the capital, even if it is a fact, will mean nothing. The Govern- ment, has, however, made every attempt to make the masses realise that the decisive victory will be China's in a long war, and it will no doubt be able to instil universal confidence throughout the length and breadth of the country."

As a military man, what do you think of the "fighting quality of the Japanese army?"

"In a short war, they are all right. But in a long struggle, their power will be reduced and further reduced. That is why we want a long war. We can well stand up to it, but the Japarees can't.

JAPAN WILL FAIL" "Moreover, Japan will experience internal dificulties if hostilities are extended over any length of time. Her present economic trou bles are well known, and if she bas to spend without stopping over and above her revenue. her economy will certainly fail. The people will the then oppose

Government' policy and demand a change.”.

"Do the Japanese people want this war?"

"I believe they are misled. The present Japanese Government is a "form of absolute fascism, and can't be representative of the people.

"But I will predict one That is. Japan will have a govern- ment after the failure of her pre- sent regime that will be not only democratic, but letter than that." | From Nov. 30

Winding up the vigorous and re- freshing interview, our representa- tive asked General Yang what course would China adopt after the war, if she should win it, and would any striking. change be noticed in the country or the people as a whole.

General Yang said: China is a peace-loving country, and there is no likelihood of her going after be That would not revenge. worthy of her. During this time.. the Chinese people are trying to Fra make their government system democratic one. We will not be Bit. proud of our victory, All we Chi- nese wish for are liberty and in- dependence, and to stand on the 'same basis as other countries."
