Japan neatié} “New stage” in China policy TOKYO, May 9 -- (AP) -- The Japan Times and Advertiser, ling- lish language newspaper controll- ed by the Japanese Foreign Of- fice, said today that Japan had reached a “new stage" in her noi- iey toward China and declared the effort to overcome the Chinese by force of arms “must have little more appeal even to the most sanguine of suidierlv minds." The paper, reflecting the eur- rent attitude ol the more moder- ate Japanese, suggested that Jap- an's new policy be two-fulfi:—- “l. Peace and order in Lihina. because no peace can be possible in the Far hast without a. peace- ful China. Development of China as an active partner in the new Asiatic eo-prosperity sphere, because a new economic structure for East Asia would be impossible without the co-operaiiun of China." "Moreover, the effect of a Jup- anese conquest over Uhungching would be decidedly incommensur- ate with the cost involved." said the paper. “Tile superiority of Japanese arms has been as con» vmcirlg as China's ability to sur- vivc corporal punishment, “The idea of overcoming this mastudurl of‘ nations must have little more appeal even to most sanguine of soldierly minds."
