Berlin, Sept. 10.
"Japan is irritated by the Sino-Soviet non-aggression pact, but not a word has been said about Germany who has contractual relations with Poland, herself bound with Russia a non-aggression pact," declared Dr. H. H. Kung, Chinese Finance Minister, in a press interview yesterday.
"It seems the—Soviet-German treaty of Berlin, prolonged in 1933 by the third Reich has also been forgotten," Dr. Kung added.—"According to Japanese arguments, all Powers who sign non-aggression pacts with Soviet Russia should be considered as a Bolshevist state, or threatened by Bolshevism not only Poland, but Finland and the new Turkey.
"What has become of international law with a useless China expedition What has become of the open door principles promised by Japan for Manchoukuo? China feels strong enough to live in peace with as many nations as she pleases. She is sure of herself. More than ever, Japan's invasion, which is not the first in history, gave new strength to China's unity, reached with so much difficulty. China will not be discouraged by defeats nor intoxicated by victories."—Havas.
