The most silcctaculai" work was being done in the machine wood-cutting room, but the lilllest workshop was that of the metal-wcldei"s.

(A. l". by Guardian's Special Wire)

SHANGHAI. Feb. 5——The Com- munist armies of China, alter nearly l0 year-sot waif-are against General Chlang Kal-Shek and his modern Nanking legions, today apper/ld to have won at least a truce with Nanking on their own terms.

(In Pelping a spokesman of Jap- an's North China garrison said the Japanese army might be ‘faced with the necessity of taking in- dependent measures since the act- ion taken by the Chinese govern- ment to suppress the increasing Commluiist power in the north west was not considered satisfac- tory.

Although confusion still reigned in the iiortliivcst piovinces, with a.

(C. P. by Guardian's Special Wire) LONDON, Feb. 5 — Germany's campaign for return of war-lost colonies will be opened by Ambas- sador Joachim Von Ribbentrop shortly, it was learned today.

The Ambassador, who was crlti- oized by a London paper for al- leged propaganda effortsJs expect- ed to see Viscount Halifax, the acting foreign secretary, next week.

The Ambassador, the Associated Press learned from a “high official source," realizes that concessions by Germany will be necessary if Brit- aln is to relinquish colonies over which she has mandates.

He consequently is willing. this source said, to discuss a Western European security agreement.

Considerable opposition to any yielding of mandated colonies was expressed. Sir Archibald Sinclair, Liberal leader in the House of Commons, emphatically told the National Liberal Club that “no ter- ritory should be handed over tn Germany merely as a bribe to keep her quiet in Western Europe."

Geoffrey Mander, Liberal M.P., stated that handing over any of the old German colonies would be “wholly indefensible.“ How, he asked. "can we, having rcspoiislbil- ities for the welfare of the nat- ives. hand ovei" a single one of them to those who have treated their fellow citizens with such bar- barous cruelty. can we trust Hit- ler to keep his word?”

Fiery comment on the Ambassa- doi" in the News-Chronicle brought forth a statement in official cir_ clcs that reports Von Ribbentrop is

The News-Chronicle stated Von Ribbentrops Nazi salute to King George VI at last night's diplom- atic reception had “aroused the cabinet" against German “propa- gandlst activities" and said he was no longer acceptable to London.
