Insatiable Aggressor

In an article on China's foreign relutions, Dr. Wang Chung-hui, Min'cter of Foreign Affairs, writes:

"It the foreign Powers are to maintain the present balance of power in the Pacific and to prevent their own rights and interests from being entirely driven out of this Continent by an aggressor who cannot Lo satiated,' there is no other alternative except to terminate all financial relations and completely stop commercial intercourse of every description with Japan.

"In the meantime, China, who has been carrying on her struggle against the aggressor for the last two years in face of great difficulties, and who will continue to do so indefinitely, has been defending not only her own territorial integrity, but also the very principles upon which the security of civilization hinges.

"Therefore, any assistance rendered by foreign Powers to China to overthrow the Japanese militarists, will help to stabilize conditions in the Far East and restore permanent peace in the Pacific, which cannot fail to have far-reaching and beneficial effects in other parts of the world."—Reuter.
