CHINA’S WARNING

BEADY TO EIGHT

AS DEMONSTRATION TO WORLD.

(United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright.)

(Received Jan. 24th. at 10 a.m.) G'JI'AN Gli.V 1, J a unary 2d. H is Hated by aut-.ioa'itative sources that ii.ll important declaration of further anti-Japanese resistance is immediately epee-tod. The deepest pes-■s.mi.-ui-is prevailing throughout China ■is a ivstile- of the breakdown in the coiniliatio-n procedure at Geneva, and the- failure of the League to compel Japan to abide by its decisions. Lowen Kan, the Chinese Foreign Minister, warms the foreign powers that if Japan is permitted to overrun Jehol, the Uhine-e are prepared to i take stops which undoubtedly will precipitate a crisis in the Ear East, in order to demonstrate to the world that China is not prepared to continue as a. catypaw to the foreign powers. The- greatest tension is existing in the vicinity of Peiping. Approximately two hundred thousand Chinese .forces under various generals are concentrated -along the Great Wail, the leaders having, informed Nanking that they are prepared “to- fight to the last man” to prevent further Japanese encroachment.

M. HERR IDT VIEWS POSITION.

CHINEE'S VIEW MORE CREDIBLE

(“Times” Cable.)

LONDON, January 23,

“The Times’ ” Paris correspondent sxys: M. Herriot (ex-P-remier of France) has an exceptionally frank article in the “Excelsior.” In this he declares that the Chinese version of the events in Manchuria seems to be more credible than the Japanese version. While- the ’ white races are speechifying, he says, Japan is preparing to dominate China, ultimately establishing a yellow supremacy over the whites.

M. Herriot says that the absence of America from the League- of Nations prevents the latter from playing her proper part, and. if she continues helpless., the effect will be disastrous, resulting in a gradual return to the rule of force instead of the rule of law.
