The editorial of the "New York Herald Tribune" on the Peiping crisis states that "nothing could be further from the realities of this situation ihan the Japanese pretence that if one bellicose Chinese division were moved elsewhere and if a meeker one were established in its several Peiping barracks there would be no explosive material left in the area over which Japanese artillery would continue to stage its midnight antics." N Discussing the Kwanganmen incident, the editorial points out that "the arrival of Japanese forces from Fengtai at the gate closest to the trouble zone after night fall, looks as though the officer who ordered it hoped for trouble "or was stupid. Whichever is the correct explanation does not matter much. The point is that under such Japanese encouragement no Chinese force can ever be incident-proof.
Concluding, the editorial says North China may enjoy a par Japonica; but peace there cannot be because the Japanese army simply won't have it"—Kuo Min
