other nations, has announced a new
American policy of active cooperation
to establish world peace.

yesterday, indicted aggression anc
treaty breakers and asserted America
actively engages in the search fol-
peace"
Foreign nations today we're quick tt
point to the address as intimatior
that the United States is ready te
abandon her policy of neutrality. anc
to support world action to maintain
peace. But they disagreed as to its
feasibility.
League of Nations spokesmen al
Geneva considered the speech timely
spur to League plans to summon sigma
tories to the nine-power treaty into
consultation to deal with the Sino-
japanese conflict.
Britain's Cabinet Considers Warfare.
Britain's cabinet met to consider
both the Spanish and Oriental warfare,
considering the Presidents words to
be an offer of cooperation in ending
at least the Far Eastern conflict.
Germany's foreign Office, through its
official newspaper, however, wanted to
know exactly to which nations and
treaties the President referred.
IT he wishes to take the initiative in
improving world conditions, the Ger
man foreign Office article said. the
President should determine whether he
possesses strength enough actually
to make justice triumphant in the
world"
The paper warned the President
to remember the "shipwreck" of
President Wilson when he sought to
safeguard peace for all time through
the League of Nations.
Official Warning From Japan.
Japan warned officially that peace
may be difficult to maintain" If de-
mands of the nations which have
not" colonies and raw materials are
ignored
President Roosevelt's condemnation
of aggression drew from Japan flat

in China in difference to world opinion.

cials, taking the Presidents Chicago
speech as an obvious shaft at the
japanese military campaign in China,
replied only with promise the Japa-
nese empire will throw all her re-
sources into the undeclared Sino-
Japanese war

respect for a world opinion formed
on the basis Of dispatches rewritten
by Chinese government officials" he
declared.
I'VE believe the surest way to
minimize suffering is to speed the
conclusion. We will do everything
possible to speed the end and bring
the situation back to normal"
The Japanese foreign ONCE spokes-
man, also replying directly to the
American President, said that "the
ideal of right as conceived by Western
peoples is incompatible with that OF
the Orient"
He added that Japan's demand was
that the japanese people be per-
mitted ito enjoy the freedom Of move
ment and happiness which is right
fully theirs"
Harking back to the Japanese ex-
clusion law passed by the United
States in 1924, the spokesman char
acterized it as lone which is against
the natural laws of mankind and is
greatly deplored by the Japanese peo-
pie"
"Japan's population has doubled
during the past so years. Being
crammed in such q limited area, Japan
wants to send her people elsewhere,
but all outlets are denied by countries
everywhere"
The German reaction came from the

respondents, of1cial mouthpiece Of the
foreign omce.
