Japan's Aims Contradictory, Says "Lo Temps"
Paris.
Jan. 2.
Japan's alleged terms for with China submitted to G Chiang Kai-shek by Dr. Oscar Trautmann, German Ambassador to Nanking, are contradictory—to Tokyo's assertions that she res no territory in China, "Lo Temps" writes to-day The journal adds that if the terms were. accepted, several areas in China of particular interest to Japan would effectively be placed under Japanese control.
"Independently from proposals already made or which may be made by Japan," the paper continues, neral Chiang seems resolved to continue the fight, either because he still possesses sufficient military means for prolonging the resistance with chances of success by drawing the foe into the interior of China, wearing him down and exhausting him, or he is still counting on outside support following further incidents and on the more or less direct assistance from the Soviet "A point which seems to confirm this attitude," the journal concludes, "is the appointment of Dr. H. H. Kung to the Chairmanship of the Executive Yuan in order to allow General Chiang to devote all his time to his task as Commander-in-Chief of the Chinese armies."
