MADAME SUN YAT-SEN

WARNS NATION

A warning to the Chinese against Japan's constant peace ges- tures is sounded by Madame Sun Yat-sen in a manifesto Issued on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Sino-Japanese hostilities. Such peace gestures, Madame Sun points out, are political man- eouvrings on the part of Japan to complement her plans of military conquest of "China, since China's efforts to wage a long-drawn-out war of resistance will shatter her dreams of subjugating her by military force alone. Madame Sun hopes that China will no fall into the trap.
