FOREIGN VIEWS RÉSENTED

MANCHURIA AS A BUFFER STATE

JAPAN'S COMEDY.

Shanghal, Aug, 9. Interviewed by Reuter, Mr. T. V. Soong expressed surprise at cabled reports that the position of Manchukuo is a buffer state be- tween China and Japan Is being discussed with keen interest in London.

Mr. Soong said: "The straits between Japan and the mainland of Asia are many times wider thon the channel which kept British shores inviolate for centuries, and yet Japan found it necessary to swallow Korea.

"The process of swallowing the neighbouring territory continues with the seizure of Manchuria, and even now Japan is poised for a descent on the vast province of Jehol, which is the gateway to Peking.

"It was a British Statesinan who said there are no limits to the theory of geographical propinquity."

Comic Opera.

"That the idea of a buffer state in Manchuria is so rendily ac cupted by the Tokyo correspon- dent of The Times moves one to astonishment, as by now the merest child could understand the Gilbert and Sullivan nature of the independent state that Manchukuo is.

TANGLED POLITICS IN GERMANY.

CATHOLIC CENTRE PARTY HOLDS KEY

Berlin, Aug. D. The political situation is still hopelessly tangled and party bag- gling continues, but it may be taken for granted that Herr von Papen and General von Schleicher will be in the. Government which presents itself to the Reichstag on August 80.

The key to the situation remains in the Catholic Centre Party, headed by the ex-Chancellor, Dr. Bruening,

This party will only tolerate the participation of the Nazis on conditions which will prevent the latter's Ministers run- ning wild, The Centre Party will immediately overthrow the Gov- ernment if it attempts any experi- ments to which it objects.

The Nazis will probably be of- fered a couple of minor Govern- ment posts with a promise of something more important later.— Router.

Ruthless Measures.

Berlin, Aug. 9.

forc- The "ruthless measures" shadowed by Herr von Papen to terminate the reign of terror are likely to be embodied in a decrec by President Hindenburg, inflict- ing the death penalty for such offences as high treason, arson, the use of explosives, damaging rail- ways and armed opposition to State authorities.

Anyone possessing arms during disorders in which life is lost may also be shot, irrespective of whether they are guilty of murder.

There will be no appeal from the verdicts of the special courts which will be set up.

In the meantime, various out- rages, such as homb throwing and shooting are reported from all

Japanese Comparison.

The present grave crisis which has arisen through the resignation of Mr. Wang Ching-wel is not to be won dered at and should not be held up against China as fur- ther proof of her instability, when it is considered that Japan, the successful aggres sor nation, assassinated two of her Premiers, her Minister to China and her Minister of Finance over the identical question of the relations be- tween the two countries.

"It is but natural that passions should be aroused in the dif- ferences of opinion existing in the despoiled state of China, not only as regards policy but as re- gards the methods, the technique and the tempo employed to re- sist further aggression.-Rouler.

Spectators Reproved.

"I have never played the role of prophet; but i am genuinely hopeful that the present internal crisis will be satisfactorily solved and that out of it will come the the national crystallisation of

will that further seizures of ter- ritory will be resisted with the resources of the united nation at all costs.

"Goodness knows, we've been patient enough, under the utmost of provocation, but acceptance the plous admonitions of Euro- poans and their chancelleries to

refrain

has from aggravation' only resulted in our losing vast territories without the firing of a single shot.

"A great nation is being crucified, and in decency it bekoves the spectators not to seck to assuage their cons clences by parrotlike cries of the punishment fitting the crime."-Reuter.

CHINA CABINET RESIGNS

DESCRIBED AS MERE FORMALITY

CHIANG'S WIRE

Nanking, Aug. 1. The political situation is further complicated by the announcement that Chiang Kai-shek will probably resign.

Chiang Kai-shek yesterday sent a brief, blunt telegram to Generale Ho Ying-ching and Chu Pel-teh, ordering them to proceed to Shanghal, without delay and per- sundo ir. Wang Ching-wei to withdraw his resignation.

The telegram concludes' "If Wang Ching-wel doesn't withdraw his resignation, I shall resign also."Reuter.

Entire Cabinet Tenders Resignation.

of the Cabinot The members at Nanking joined those at present in Shanghai in this action.

Mr. T. V. Soong, interviewed by Reuter this evening, declared that Wang Ching-wei's post of Pre- sident of the Executive Yunh was similar to that of a Prime Minister in other countries, hence his re- signation must be followed by the -wholesale-resignation_of____the_

Cabinet. This was the

practice

in all countries and was nothing at which to be alarmed.

Until a new Cabinet was formed, the resigning Ministers would carry on their duties as usual.

A Government spokesman simi- larly declared the action of the Ministers was a mera "formality." --Reuter.

favour to ask my wife if she'd have the next dance with me?"

Cherry flushed with pleasure as the rose. An orchestra half way across the continent was playing a melodie Garman waltz. The notes floated out sweet and clear from the radio. Dan and Cherry had never danced together before but their steps matched perfectly.

Dan whispered, "The next time we pass that door slip through it. We're going to make a getaway. Mrs. Casey will help us."

Five minutes later they were hurrying down a rear stairway. Another five minutes and Dan was helping Cherry into a taxicab.

As the cab rolled along through the darkucas Cherry thought, "This can't really be me! I can't believe so much could happen in 24 hours.” Fortunate for her that she could not foresee the next 24 hours.
