OVERTURES BY JAPANESE
(Rec. 9 a.m.) CHUNGKING, Feb. 17,
Authoritative Chinese circles have interpreted General Tojo's message to the Diet as the first step in a peace campaign and has ridiculed his reference to "our Chinese brothers" participating in the construction of the Greater East Asia.
The Catholic newspaper "Iche Pao" warns the united nations that they should be prepared for a dual offensive which the Japanese are expected to launch on both the peace and war fronts now that Singapore has fallen.
"China will naturally be the chief object of the peace offensive," it says, "' ut the Japanese will also try to Stir up all the Asiatic peoples, against Britain and America.
"On the war front Burma will be the principal objective of the next offensive."
