CHINA & JAPAN
’ STORIES OF MEDIATION DISCREDITED OFFICIAL STATEMENT AT HANKOW FAITH STILL REPOSED IN LEAGUE (By Telegraph—Press Association.) WELLINGTON, This Day. The Chinese Consul has received the following cablegram from Hankow:— In an address at the weekly memorial service, Mr Wang Chingwai, de-puty-executive of the Kuomintang, stated that since the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' had already denied a report that Italy was acting as mediator to settle the conflict between China and Japan, no further notice should be taken of the report. In regard to the League of Nations, there was no denying the fact that its authority had weakened, but this was not the fault of the League itself. It was because members of the League had not fulfilled their obligations, thus failing to strengthen the League’s authority. “I hope,” Mr Wang Ching-Wai said, “that when the League Council meets, it will, with a more determined effort, uphold peace and justice, and Will curb aggression.”
