China's political and economic progress in recent years has been rapid and the Chinese people are earnest in working out their own destiny. Something should done to improve relations with China and Japan must henceforth discard her "strong" China policy More convincing than any Chi- nese statement could possibly be, stronger than any opinion express- ed by a neutral observer, in this frank analysis by a prominent Japanese businessman in a unique position to know what" policy should be pursued in order to" fur- ther his country's legitimate bust- ness interests in China.

It is a complete refutation of Mr. Fukushima's contemptuous refer- ences to the Chinese. as a people unable to look after their own af- fairs and incapable of making pro- gress under the leadership of General Chiang Kai-Shek.

CHINA REVIEW

Dangers. Ahead

Observers of Far Eastern politics are of the opinion that the fall of Nanking marks the real beginning of Japanese difficulties in China, because any attempt to pursue the Chinese further inland wir inevitably involve the risk of snapping the ever lengthening line of communications. They also maintain that Japan will be making a very serious mistake if she thinks she can continue her acts of wanton aggression with impunity. She has certainly gone very far, but she would be. Imprudent to subject foreign interests to more than what they have come to regard an inevitable wear and tear,

Foreign Assistance

"China is willing to accept the assistance of the,great Powers of the world, but Chinese resistance to the Japanese Invaders will continue.. unrelentingly." declared Mr. Shao Li Tse. Press Director to the Chinese Government. He further emphasised that China would" never surrender, or renounce her, sovereignty over any part of the country, because such actions, would render all sacrifices of the past fruitless. Submission to the Japanese would mean the end of China. because this would signify the termination of Marshal Chiang, Kal

Shek's power and the beginning of destructive civil war.

"China realises the strength of the Japanese military forces.”: he further asserted, "and is cognisani,of the fact that her own forces in many respects are inadequate. For this reason the Chinese Am- bassadors have informed the Governments to which they are ac-' credited that China will accept any form of assistance."

In reply to a question concerning China's attitude towards the Soviet Union, the speaker declared, "China is not willing to purchase Russia's assistance at the price of adopting Communism, since thes Chinese Government through the long years of struggle against Com- munism has revealed its attitude in that respect. But assistance of a military nature is to be exported from Russia because Japaneser penetration "luto North China constitutes a threat to the Soviet Union. For this reason, any action taken by Moscow would be prin- cipally for self-defence."
