Settlement of China War Being Sought Tokyo, Mar. 5.
The Government will issue a statement in the near future, probably about the middle of this month, it is understood, setting forth Japan's tentative peace terms—or what are called in official circles here "the formula for the disposal of the China Incident,"
These terms have already been communicated to the House of Peers and the House of Representatives, at private sessions.
The China Affairs Board met in conference this evening to discuss the "formula."
The date of the issue of the statement may be timed to be simultaneous with the opening of *he political conference at Nanking, which will proceed the inauguration of the new Central Government of China, under Mr. Wang Ching-wei.—Reuter.
