The "Manchester Guardian" says that German observers are a little skeptical regarding the belief of the Japanese military authorities that, by holding North China, they will weaken Russia in the Far East. The Germans fear that Japan will ultimately become weaker than Russia, even if she secures a better strategic position than she enjoys now.
The consensus of opinion in London is that Chinese unity would have suffered a setback and perhaps even have been destroyed if the Japanese challenge had not been taken up. Now, however, it is believed that Chinese unity, promoted by industrialization, greater administrative efficiency and the genius of General Chiang Kai-shek, will receive a further stimulus from the war with Japan, even if the war ends in defeat—Reuter.
