Towards Peace in China
The cessation from hostilities at Shanghai continues, though it has taken some time to regularize it by a formal trnee, and the embarkation of a division and a brigade of-Japanese troops for home is clear evidence

The Nanking Government has naturally accepted the League Assembly's resolution of last Friday, claiming it, with rather more enthusiasm than is perhaps entirely diplomatic, to be a complete recog- nition of the justice of China's ease. But the difficulties regarding a final settlement are only just beginning, even if Japan also accepts the Assembly resolution, as she has not done yet.
