PEACE IN CHINA
EX-FOREIGN MINISTER’S APPEAL RUSSIAN CO-OPERATION DESIRED. OPEN LETTER ADDRESSED TO MR CHAMBERLAIN. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.10 a.m.) LONDON, November 29. A former Chinese Foreign Minister, Mr Eugene Chen, in an open letter to Mr Neville Chamberlain, states that peace in China, which is vital to British interests, can be established either by yielding to General Itagaki, who is the representative of the military elements ruling Japan, or by standing up to him with the Soviet by China’s side. Mr Chen adds: “You know and General Itagaki knows that Britain cannot withstand Japan. General Itagaki knows that France can do nothing unless Japan actually invades Indo-China, but General Itagaki also knows that Britain, with Soviet co-operation, can impose peace without sacrificing China. He knows that any wai- with Russia will be fought on Japanese territory. Neither British nor Chinese vital interests will be served if Britain alone embarks on peace mediation.”
