"I cannot at this moment say more than that the policy we intend to pursue is such a policy as may lead, if it can, to the termination of the Sino-Japanese conflict on a basis that the moral opinion of the world accept; a basis which would offer the hope of that peace being durable, and a basis for the development of China in which all parties could play their part," said Lord Halifax.

Sir Archibald Sinclair, leader of the Liberal Party in the House of Commons, referring to the hope ex- pressed that the Brussels Conference would result in peace, said that what was agitating their innds was the question: What peace?

Would the country most vociferous In demanding peace be Jopan, Or some other country asking on her behalf, for peaco on the basis of possession of Chinese provinces now occupied by Japan?-Reuter.
