SMALL THOUGHTS

Cunning signifies, especially, a
habit or gift of overreaching, accom-
panied with enjoyment and a sense
of superiority-It is associated with
small and dull conceit, and with an
absolute want of sympathy or af-
fection.-It is the intensest render
ing of vulgarity, absolute and ut
ter-Ruskin.

BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
PEIPING, Jan. 31.-Gen. WI Pei
fu, once powerful Chinese military
leader, said today that negotiations
for him to head a peace move
ment' were under way with Japanese
army commanders.
IF I am to lead a peace move
ment as requested by both Japanese
and Chinese ! must be given ade-
quate power to accomplish this
difficult task" he declared
Negotiations in this direction are
now going on with japanese military
headquarters here I am confident
that everything will be arranged
satisfactorily to me if I agree to
assume leadership.
My record shows my constant
efforts for peace
Gen. WI said nothing regarding
a new central government for jap
anese- occupied areas of China and
his statements committed him to no
new official position. There have
been reports that he had agreed
to head such government.
The general, who once was con-
sidered anti Japanese, appeared
calm and unruffled as more than
100 Japanese correspondents surged
around him. Non-Japanese CORE
spondents at the interview were
searched as many as three times
by Chinese police guards.
