If, therefore, no effective cheek is put on her acts of aggression, world peace will Be seriously jeopardized. It is already a threat and danger to order and stability in the Orient, which will have far-teaching consequences on all parts of ihe. world, besides endangering the liberty and independence of China.

"We appeal to you also to urge and work for speedy and effective measures to curb the unlawful invasion and violation of China's sovereign rights and territory; we further appeal to you for material assistance to alleviate the sufferings of thousands of innocent victims, wounded, IN and rendered homeless through the atrocities of the aggressor."—Central News.

"There are those," Dr. Butler added, "who say the Tanaka Memorial was a hoax of Chinese origin. If so, the author is to be congratulated on having so quickly achieved eminence as a major prophet,"—United Press.
