MUSSOLINFS four-power peace
4vA plan is causing a lot OF excit-
ed discussion in various European
countries. Great Britain and Ger
many might gladly agree to this.
but France still asserts the sanctity
Of treaties must be respected, and
in, this she is Of course supported
by all the nations of the little en-
tente, and by Poland. In Czecho-
slovakia especially sentiment was
aroused, and Foreign Minister Ed
Guard Benes told the parliament in
Prague that whoever desires to
change the boundaries Of that coun-
try must bring an army along with
him. He criticized the Mussolini
plan as a "great backward step"

the equipment of the Chinese East
ern railway, and in that connection
it was interesting to note that a
new alignment was bringing Rus
STA and France together, the for
mer drifting away from Germany
and the latter beginning to take
sides against Japan. Already the
French and Russians have arranged
for exchange Of military informa-
ton and military instructors. Be-
fore long the situation on the Eu-
ropean continent may be pan-Ger-
manism against pan-Slavism, with
France on the side of the latter
and Italy with the former.

military command that it announced
the early occupation Of all STRAIT
egic points in the North China area.
With this in view. the Japanese
launched a general attack south Of
the Great Wall designed to open
the way to the old Chinese capital.
The Manchukuoan government
has announced that only nations
recognizing that state will benefit
by its promise of an open door
trade policy.

able.
