IN A WILL NOT CAPITULATE, SAYS WELLINGTON KOO Chlrnco Tribune Vrrsti Service. 1 LONDON, May 27. Dr. Wellington Koo, Chinese ambassador, speaking to the China society at Oxford university today, stressed that despite Japan's renewed onslaught against China, the Chinese will not capitulate when three quarters of the world is now ranged with them in common defense of freedom and democracy." He interpreted the new Japanese pushes as an attempt to converge on Chungking in order to force the Chinese government to come to terms.

Japan, he asserted, knows well that Chinese resistance constitutes the chief obstacle to its dream of domination and is consequently anxious to force a surrender. "It will be in the interests of the common cause for the other united nations to rush air reinforcements to the Chinese front, and the more the better," he declared. "Meanwhile China, with her reserve stocks of arms, munitions, and equipment, will do her best to hold out until the tide turns." 1 pur delectable, delicious, divine assortment of summer shoes makes it FASHION APPETITE Easy to find your style "Easy to get your size llf 'Whte Kltl--White yzL- 15 --'Si.
