THAT JAPAN IS ANXIOUS to make peace (though on her own terms) is obvious both from recent statements made in Tokyo and from a consideration of the facts of Japan's objective position. At the same time, it is no less clear that she has not been weakened to such an extent that she would be willing to give up any substantial part of her gains to achieve such a peace. Those who lightly assert that she is already compelled to abandon her old ambitions would do well to make a study of the com- plicated puppeteering going on in Shanghai and, most of all, the new Hunan offensive.

CHINA'S WAR AIMS are to drive "out the invaders and regain full mastery in her own house. Her strategy to achieve these aims has also been repeatedly enunciated.
