Claim Victories As Chinese Launch Counter - Offensive Before Soochow.

IAJ’. By Guardian's Special Wire)

SHANGHAI, Nov. l8 — Chinese military leaders asserted tonight their forces had thrown the Jap. azicse back in the centre of China's "Huldenburg Line" west of Shang- hai. but Japanese spokesmen de- clared that line had been breach- ed by smashing Japanese blows near its northern and southern ex- lrcmlties.

Chinese reports told of a strong counter-offensive before Soochow, central keystone of the Chinese defensive system, in which the Japanese were driven back toward Cheni, 16 miles east of Soochow.

But. heavy assaults brought the Japanese literally to the gates of Changsha and Kashing, northern and southern strong points, respec- tively, of the Chinese defences, some 50 miles west of Shanghai.

A Japanese spokesman said Jap- anese shock troops smashed through Chinese lines on Fushan Creek north of Changshu and then tum- ed ‘southward to attack the city it- riel .

Japanese reports from ihe south- ern end of the 110 rule batik-front said one gate of Keshillg already had fallen and bitter fighting was in progress around that city of northern Chekiang Province. Chin- ese, however, med there was still heavy fish rig at Seven Star bridge, foul: miles northeast of Kashms. .

Clvlian ministries of the Chinese Government continued their with- drawal from Nanking to l-lankow. Chungiklng, Changsha and Wu- chang in the interior before the threat of a. Japanese advance t0 the capital itself. The general ex- odus frcm Nanking clogged all uv- enues and means of getting away.

Foreign ambassadors and mmls- ters were given unofficial notifica- tcn the government ilvas movalg. but the envoys made no announce- ment oi their own plans, pending official statement c-f ihc Chinese government's intentions.

New Canada - U. S. Treaty Mooted To Offset Loss Of Brit- ish Preferences.

(By The Canadian Press)

OTTAWA, Nov. ill-Negotiations are contemplated for a new. trade agreement between Canada and United States, Prime Minister Mackenzie King announced to- night. Exploratory conversations have been in progress since Aug- ust. the Prime Minister said».

The Prime Minister stated at the same time that the ‘govern- ment is "fully alive to the many and varied political and economic implications" of proposed negotia- tions IT?!‘ a flrade agreement be- tween the United States and the United Kingdom announced earlier

1h conformity with United States procedure on the making oi trade agreements announcement that negotiations are contemplated precedes advice to the public that llekotiatio are actually under- way. Secretary of State Cordell Hull was to make the same an-

unccment in Washington.

Canada's trade agreement with United States, concluded two years ago this month, runs to the end of 1938. When it was being dealt with in the House of Commons Mr. Mackenzie King indicated it was hoped to make it broader and more efficient by subsequent nego- tiations. ' '

Whether the existing agreement will run in course or be replaced by a new agreement before its normal expiration depends upon the prbgress made in negotiat- ions. Mr. Mackenzie King, who personally visited Washington for negotiation of the present agree- mont. said he did not contemplate going there in the immediate fut- ure but expected direct conferen- ces would proceed without delay.

In making this announcement, the Prime Minister said: “In Aug- ust last, the Canadian Govern- ment approached the Government of the United States with a view

extending and revising the trade agreement concludedbetwcen them in 1985. Since then, explor- atory conversations have been proceeding which have resulted in today's announcement regarding the negotiation of a new agree- ment which will, we hope, be on as broad and comprehensive ' a basis as possible."

Questioned as to the possible surrender of some of Canada's preferences in the British market to facilitate the negotiations for a trade treaty between United States and the United Kingdomof which intention was also formally an- nounced today in London and Washington, Mr, Mackenzie King would not comme III in any detail.

loiifiicli WINS NiiBEi PEABLPRIZE

Leading British Paci- fist Is Fifth English- man To Win Award.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire)

OSLO, Nov. 18-'l‘he career of Viscount Cecil of Ciiclwooo‘, at 73 acknowledged to be the lending British pacifist and spokesman for disarmament and the League of Nations, was capped today when he was awarded the Nobel Peed: Prize for 1937.

A month ago, Viscount Cecil in- dicated to the first British Con- Hrcss of the International Peace Campaign he would soon resign active direction of the pacifist movement to a. younger person but would continue, as. long as his health permitted, to function as president both of the Internation- al Peace Campaign and its Brib- ish section.

Viscount Cecil is head of the British League of Nations Union, which under his leadership in 1935 conducted the famous "peace Bal- lot" in which millions of votes were cast for continued adherence to the League of Nations and for disarmament.

Lord Cecil. third son of the third Marquis of Salisbury, was created a Viscount in i923. Prev- ious to that he had a lengthy political career in the House of Commons. He was then known as 10rd Robert Cecil.

The Nobel peace prize, which comes out of the interest on $9,- 000,000 bequeathed by the late Dr. Alfred E. Nobel-ms do other prizes in various fields to men who have most contributed to the wefnre of mankind-was fiixt awarded In 190i.

Viscount. Cecil is the fifth Eng- lishman to win the peace prize since tlioli. Sir William Rome's Cremcr won it in i903: Sir Alls- tcn Chamberlain jointly -wii.h Charles Gates Dawes of the United States in 1925,- Norman Angell iii 1933; and Arthur Hen- derson in 1934.
