China Says
U. S. Is Sure
To Enter War
CHUNGKING, China, Nov. —
The authoritative Chinese news
paper Takung Pao declared that
Adolf Hitler’s Munich beer hall
' speech recently indicates that
the Fuehrer is fully determined
t to fight the United States. Tak
ung Pao said that with the de
1 cision of the United States to arm
merchant vessels, a German-Arr
. erican shooting war is bound tc
become intensified. The paper
predicted that formal participa
tion of the United States in the
war is now only a matter of
time.
At the same time, Takung Paci
suggested that the word ‘'neutral
ity” be erased from the diction
ary. Said the newspaper:
"No country can escape the
ravages of war. So-called neu

Failure Of
Envoy Kurusu
Is Predicted
CHUNGKING, China. Nov. -
Hhe official Central China Daily
News published an editorial by
its diplomatic correspondent !
charging that Japanese Prime I
Minister Tojo has sent his spec- j
ial envoy, Saburo Kurusu, to
Washington with the dual objec
live of furthering his own pol-;
itical life and to gain time for1
Japan.
The China Daily News’ corre- :
spondent wrote that it is signi-!
Scant that by the time Kurusu
arrived in Washington the Jap
anese Diet opened session. This,
said the Chinese paper, is best
for Tojo, for by the time the out,
come of the Kurusu m'ission is
known, the Diet will be adjourn
ed. and Tojo will have survived
the crucial period in his political
life.
The Chungking paper pointed
out that Tojo dispatched Kurusu
to Washington to appease both
the Japanese favoring rapproach
ment with the United States, and
the Rightist elements in the Jap
anese army, but predicted com
plete failure of the Kurusu mis
j sion.
