OFFER
May Be MADE
TO CHINESE
British Pressure Is Seen;
May Ask F. R. to Act
in Mediator's Role

SHANGHAI, April 20. (uP)--
A japanese army spokesman said
today that reinforced Nipponese
columns were driving southwark
from Len-yi, in southwestern Shan
tung province, and soon would be
in position to jeopardize the strong
Chinese positions in Suchow-fu,
on eof the key cities in Generals
simo Chang Kai-shek's strongly
fortified Lung-hai railway line de-
Tending his provisional capital IN
Hankow.
"Our forces are making good
progress despite sporadic Chinese
rearguard resistance" the spokes-
man said. "The Chinese have
started a general withdrawal in
the Lin-yi sector but are holding
their lines elsewhere on the Shan
tung front including points south
of Yi-hisen and Hanchwang."
Most experts believed that the
capture of Suchow-fu would be
followed by a new crest period
during which the Japanese would
consolidate territories administer
ed by their Peiping and Marking
governments in line with the pro-
gram of the Japanese premier,
Prince Fuminaro Konoye.
During this period, it was pre-
dicted, Konoye might make pub
lie offer of peace to Generalissirno
Chang despite the fact that Chi.
ang already has announced ne Will
reject all overtures so long as jap
anese armed forces remain IN
China proper. -,
Some experts thought that Ko:
move still hopes that Massayuki
TAM, his special ambassador-at-
large in China, may be able TO
reach an agreement with Sir
Archibald Kerr, the British ambas-
sador, which would result in an
Anglo-Japanese "deal."
Such an arrangement reported
w would include British pressure
on China to force her to come TO
terms with Japan possibly with the
United States acting as mediator
if President Roosevelt could be In
duced to assume the role.
