China has made considerable concessions to Japan in the Manchurian controversy, as well as in the recent North China dispute, in the belief that the two nations mutually could benefit by ce-operation, said 'Mr. Wang Ching-wei, President of the Executive Yuan' and concurrently Minister for Foreign Affairs, in-an interview with Rengo this after= oon.
"These concessions," Mr. Wang continued, "did not necessarily In-Jdicate China's cowardice. China is undoubtedly inferior to Japan in her military strength, and could scarcely wage a winning battle against the latter. Yet, our resistance would in the Jong run exhaust Japan, Such a state of affairs would not be of any bennet to ether of the two nations, I believe that, instead, we should devote our efforts to the promotion of common welfare. This should be well understood by the Japanese Government and people.
