CHINA CASTS Die.
FOR LAST STAND
AGAINST JAP AN
Determination Bias IS
Early Peace Hopes
By ROBERT G. NIXON

G.N.SO China has informed
the United States she will battle
the invading Japanese armies until
every soldier of the Empire Of the
Rising Sun" has been expelled from
her shores, it was learned today.
The Chinese government has
made it plain it is in the "unde-
clared war" to insure ultimate
freedom from further Japanese
encroachment on its territorial IN
tegrity.
PEACE HOPES DASHED
Casting the die for a last-ditch
fight, China, it was learned, like
wise has communicated notice Of
this intention to the governments
Of Great Britain, France, Ger
many, italy and Russia.
This determination nullified vir-
tually all hopes Of an early peace.
The certainty of a prolonged
conflict in the Far East aroused
fears anew that it eventually
might drag in other powers and
detonate a new world war.
Against engulfment Of the
United States ip such war, this
Government, however, is bending
every possible energy, by main
tanning a position Of the strictest
neutrality. Enunciating mid
dle-of-the-road" policy, Secretary
Of State Hull repeatedly has de-
clared the United States will stay
out of foreign wars.

Thus far on his way to the Pa

given from the rear platform a dis
