JAPAN AND CHINA
"There is no rational economic argument for Japanese aggression in China," said Professor H. Belshaw at a luncheon of the Auckland branch of the Institute of Pacific Relations. "It seems clear that Japan is likely to continue her policy in north-east Asia, that Britain »nd the United States of America can do very little to prevent it, and that the only hope of checking this policy is the growing unification and economic and military strength of China. How Chinese strength is growing is shown by the country 's unwillingness to accept financial or other assistance on any terms inconsistent with Chinese independence." The United States has no intention of withdrawing from the Pacific, however Professor Belshaw added.
