By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright.
NEW YORK, September 28.
The Washington correspondent of the United Press of America says that officials made no comment on the suggestion of the Chinese Foreign Minister, Mr Chunghui, that the United States was in a favourable position to act. as a mediator to bring the SinoJapanese hostilities to an early end.
The reason for the lack of comment is professedly the informal nature of the proposal.
It is believed that the United States will act, if at all, only if Japan directly seeks mediation.
Mr Chunghui outlined as a basis for an honourable peace, first, enforcement of the Nine Power Treaty; and secondly, economic co-operation of all friendly nations, including Japan, if they were willing to co-operate on a basis of equality.

The Domei Agency states that the Japanese armies have moved rapidly on Changsha from south-west of Pinkkiang, which is the keypoint of Changsha’s defence. The air force bombed Chinese troops retreating south of Changsha.
