CHINA REGISTERS SOVIET TREATY
arzy.
This was the one great factor which precipitated an open outbreak between the two countries. Japan had for many years not only looked with layour on civil war in China and the division between" China's leaders, but she has more than once encouraged and fostered the establishment of independent regimes. So long as China did not beconie a unified nation, and as long as Central authority did not extend into each and every Province, Japan considered herself safe, and she was able in the circumstances to bully China into inaking concessions. But she knew that the "Chinese stand would certainly be strong and unyielding once the country had achieved unity,
This unity, won by purely domestic effort, has now been.. if anything, made only more secure and assured by Japan's recent hostile actions. It must be very satisfying and encourag- ing to the Central authorities to observe in recent months the unanimity of the support which it has received from leaders and people alike..
Still, there is evidence to show that Japan has been making strenuous efforts to destroy this unity. Japan knows that arms cannot conquer China; she well realises that her only hope is to Her agents have. eliminate the last vestige of unified control.

'The
Sino-Soviet Treaty is number 180 in the treaty list at Geneva.
The number alone gives some idea of the enormous number of treaties that "are con- stantly being concluded between two or more countries. It can be seen how vitally important it is to every nation that the sane- try of treaties should be respect- ed. It is not only the Covenant and the Pact of Paris that are violated when nations like Japan 5783 and Italy make war against other States. It strikes at the founda- tions upon which every treaty 'rests-that of mutual confidence and trust that the terms of the treaty will be observed so long as the treaty remains in force. Once that confidence and trust is it is unhappily destroyed as being rapidly destroyed to-day---` nothing remains but anarchy.

As to the Japanese desire to create what she would call a de facto government in Nanking, it needs only to be pointed out that if it was expected that the Chinese people themselves would bow to that authority, foreign States would not have gone to such Pains to instruct their representatives to keep company with the The only Nanking leaders who have withdrawn to Hankow. Government which Chinese would sanction and foreign Powers would respect would not be Tokyo's choice.

South China Beat The Army
KOTEWALL CUP
WOS
The Kotewall Cup football match between the Army and South
Association China Athletic played at the Navy ground yester day and resulted in a win for the Chinese, About five thousand soc-.. .cer fans were present and were treated to a brilliant exhibition of football. The Army were unable to held their full side and played with two reserves, Cokely at left wing and Calvert at inside left, both of whom played well. South China were at full strerigth.
The teams were as follows:- South China "A.A.:-Tam Kwan- kon; Mak Shiu-hon, Li Tin-sang; Leung Wing-chiu, Lau Hing-chol. Tse Kam-hung; Yeung Shui-yick, Chan Tak-fai, Fung King-cheong. Lai Shiu-wing and Cheung Moon- wing.
Army Rowlands; Watson, Shee- Bright, Evans han; McCusker,
-Izzard, McGuigan, (Captain); Thompson, Calvert and ComDIY,
South China kicked off and rald- ed the Army goal bus Fung King- cheong was ably tackled by the Army defenders." After a few min utes play Thompson ran down the line with the ball and sent over a centre for Calvert to test Tam with a weak shot. The Army seemed to have the better of the play territorially and after about thirty minutes aîne movement started by McCusker resulted in a corner kick for the Army, Cokely taking the kick sent over a beauti- ful shot for Bright to score the first goal of the game.
The Chinese had a number of opportunities for equalising but too much dribbling around the. Army goal-mouth nullified their ef- forts. "
Fung King-cheong receiving a pass from the Cheung scored with a pile driver giving Rowlands no chance to save Towards half- time Chan Tak-fai scored but the goal was disallowed for off-side The interval cams with the score 1-1
In the second half the Army slackened jof considerably and the Chinese showed better speed and combination than they did in the
Arst half. Fung gathering the ball from a corner kick evaded Watson and sent the ball into the top left-hand corner of the net to give the Chinese the lead. Their third goal came shortly after and it was probably the best goal of the game. After cutting in from the wing, Young Shul-yick got past- the backs and scored a splendía. goal from a very difficult angle.
Although the Army tried hard. to equalise they were repulsed time and again by the strong Chinese- defence and the score remained at 3-1 in favour of South China at the end of the game...
On arrival, at the St. Paul's College Bazaar, Lady Northcote (right) was received by Miss Catherine Foon-yee Woo, M. B. E, the headmistress.
