United States VIII Offer
Good Offices if War Comes

Although the present development in
the situation between China and Japan
over the seizure Of the TatsU warrants
no Interference on the part OF outside
powers, it is not unlikely that the United
States would willingly tender its good
offices looking toward a settlement OF
the difficulty in case actual hostiliues
should be threatened.
The State Department IS watching the
dispute with close interest IL IS ex-
tremely probable that If the incident
should lead TO war, and Japan should
make II the occasion for acquiring Chi
nese territory. the foreign powers would
intervene.
The question at issue now appears to
be one Of fact If il is as Japan rep
resents, she is held here 10 be JUSTIFIED
in her demands upon China.
II is not believed that Japan will force
the issue without an investigation By
an impartial tribunal for the sake OF
preserving her prestige in the Western
World. China has already indicated
that this would be acceptable.

China Will Fight Now,
Is Opinion Of British;
Count on Jap Stringency

LONDON, March THE action Of the
japanese ministry in sending what
amounts to an Ultimatum 10 China
caused little surprise here today IN dIpIo-
matte circles.
There is a chance, IL is thought. that
China viii yiSd, but British govern
ment officials incline rather TO the opin-
ion that the Pekin government. believing
hosulities inevitable sooner or later. will
deem this as good a time as any for a
trial at arms.
It is realized that China. cannot fail
10 appreciate how far she is Outclassed
by Japan as a military power. She un-
doubtedly counts. however, on the Mix
adO's present financial embarrassment
TO guarantee her against a prolonged
campaign and probably regards the
chances at least even that Tokyo. realiz-
ing the acuteness Of the Japanesemoney
strlngency, does not really mean TO fight
at all, but is simly trying TO frighten
the Celestial Empire in,O a surrender
which viii strengthen the Tokyo cab
met and cOrrespCndingly weaken the
prestige OF the Chinese.
The elder statesmen's policy OF de-
lay, on the ground that the worlds SYM
pathy is with China, and japan is In
no condition for war, IS not considered
particularly rea ssUring.
In view Of the fact that the Tatsu
matter IS regarded as nothing more than
a ITeteEt for Japanese pressure upon
the Chinese, not much attention IS paid
TO diplomatic assurances that the dis
Dute is too trivial TO warrant hostilities.

told the President that he greatly pre-

has asked TO be relieved of the Printing
Office jub as soon as the President can

From the statements Of Chairman

would seem that there is considerable
doubt as 20 the confirmation Of the ap-
