IL Is believed aboard the Manehu-
ria that Japan has settled its attitude
toward China's neutrality, and that its
attitude will be one friendly to China Is
lneutrality. IL is understood that a
new compact has been made between
the two countries along this line.
War Situation In Orient
With reference TO the war situation
in the Orient, in Japan liberty Il still
forbidden the press to publish the
point Of landing or the line Of progress
TO be followed by the besieging army,
but Il may be mentioned that by u
slight extension Of the neutral zone, TO
which China's consent was secured,
Japan now finds herself free from the
charge Of having violated China s neu.
ltrality, which might provide capital
Tor anti-Japanese agitators.
To many Of the thinking public there
Chinese aequiescence appeals as signi-

attitude Of the Pekipg ofiicialdom. The
arrangement is believed to have boon
effected very smoothly, and the rela
tions Of the governments Of Picking
and Toxic have come TO be very prom
Iising. China's renunciatiou of distrust
toward japan removes one of the pFin-
eipal causes of differences in the inter
national relations of this part Of tho
world, and the absence thereof insures
the peace Of the Far East, EEaeE
4. Special Session OF Diet
The period Of three days allowed for
the special session Of the Diet which
opened on September 3 is considered by
| the Seiyu-kai men to be too short to be
compatible with the grave nature Of
the business in hand. According to
them more time should have been al
lowed for taking the members into full
confidence with regard to the present
situation.
The principal point in the interpella-
tions was the question why SO much
limitation has been placed on the
sphere Of Japan's wariike operations,
The same question was also raised in
both houses, and il remains TO be seen
whether the government can give sat
| isfaction to the members in present
circumstances. .. 49, ,
