The following cablegnam from Nanking has been received by the Chinese consul— "Interviewed regarding the military situation, Marshal Chiang Kai-shek said that Ohina's plan of resistance was to preserve her own fighting " power and at the sarne time exhaust the enemy so that China's ultimate objeet might be obtained. Temporary gains and reverso3 did not affect China's resistance^ which would be continued until the validity of treaties was restored and justieo xeestablished. "Believing that ultimate victory belongs to China, he is of the opinion that the Japanese will meet with greater difficulties as they advance farther into the interior. "Marshal Chiang Kai-shek expressed opposition to direct Sino-Japanese negotiations, which, according to him, will merely afford Japan another opportunity . to press terms clearly unacceptable to China and Nine-Power Treaty signatories. VOn the eastern Shansi front, the Chinese are desperately attempting to stem the Japanese advance, Mean, while, the provincial capital has been removed to Linfeng."
