HOPES IN CHINA
PROMPT ASSISTANCE COUNTER TO JAPANESE (Reed. Marc hlB, 9 a.m.) CHUNGKING, Mar. 17. The Takung Pao, in an editorial concerning President Roosevelt’s speech at Washington on Saturday evening, states that President Roosevelt shattered the new Japanese rumour regarding the findings in China of Mr. Roosevelt’s special envoy, Mr. Currie, and adds: “Mutual aid to the democracies has become a fixed United States principle.” The Kuominkung Pao states: “Mr. Roosevelt’s promise to China will make the entire world realise that the United States is backing those opposed to aggression in Europe and Asia. The speech will undoubtedly chill the Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr. Yosuke Matsuoka, who is en route to Berlin. We hope that American arms and munitions will come as soon as possible, so that we will be able to unfold a counter-offensive against the Japanese.”
