Without exception every Tokyo paper reported that the Japanese Government would reject the Brussels Conference's proposals, Nichi Nichi adding that the Conference had better advise China to approach Japan directly and sue for peace. Adolf Hitler, having kept completely mum and kept Germany out of the Conference, was conceded by European observers to be building up a position of technical aloofness to which Japanese and Chinese might ultimately turn, should they decide that One Man can mediate better than a Conference...
...cover of thick fog. Surprised Chinese battled the Japanese landing parties hand-to-hand, but the Son of Heaven's troops gained a solid footing, preparatory to Japanese efforts to nip off Shanghai from the rest of China by closing pincers from the North and South, now that Japan's frontal attack has failed to take Shanghai for 13 weeks.

Last week in Rome, while Moscow was celebrating Bolshevism's 20th birthday as a State (see above), a peculiar ceremony was performed. It did not suit II Duce simply to bring Italy...
...document signed by Italian Foreign Minister Count Galeazzo Ciano, by Japanese Ambassador Masaaki Hotta and by German Ambassador Joachim von Ribbentrop last week declares that "Italy will be considered an original signatory of the pact" between Japan and Germany, although it was signed last year, and that Italy's signature last week is "equivalent to signature of the original pact." Ambassadors Hotta and von Ribbentrop, having signed this ludicrous concession to a Dictator's vanity, were each rewarded by Vittorio Emanuele III, King and Emperor, with the Grand Cross of the Order of Saints Maurice & Lazarus...
