BARLY PEACE FOR CHINA IMPROBABLE Long, Bloody War Forecast for Region In Which Japanese Seek Domination Editor’s Note: The veteran chief of the Associated Press bu- ~ reau in Shanghai, Morris J. Har- ris, thus analyzes the critical Sino-Japanese situation and the potential danger of major war- fare in the troubled Far East:) By MORRIS J. HARRIS Shanghai, Aug. 4—()—Early | re- establishment of peace in North China seems a remote pdssibility. Both foreign and Chinese observers, watching Japan’s army entrench it- self in command of the Peiping and Tientsin, the principal northern cities, and of the two chief North-South railways, take a gloomy view of the immediate future. Chinese quarters maintain that China is on the verge of a powerful counter-thrust in defense of her rich northern provinces; thus to. precipi- tate @ major battle in the undeclared war. Informed foreigners consider it more probable, however, that Jap- anese legations will continue their southward march, meeting only the occasional opposition of the Chinese forces scattered throughout the North ‘China region. A long, bloody informal war is for- seen for the region demands economic dominance and ‘complete freedom ‘from the central Chinese government, long a matter of dispute between the Oriental powers. The end will come, most observers believe, only when Japan concludes the frontier of her influence has been pushed far enough. Then foreigners predict Japan will set up a new pup- pet-state similar to adjacent Man- chukuo, once Chinese Manchuria. Arbitration of the deadlocked is- sues seems impossible without loss of prestige by one side or the other, neither of which appear to be willing to concede.

M., Aug. 5.—(?)— Huddled among the peaks of the Sangre de Cristos and the Jemez there live today a people untouched by 200 years of civilization. They are the jcople of the Tewa basin, where the placid stream of life has altered little since the lusty days when Spaniard and Frenchman buc- caneered over the first faint markings of the Santa Fe trail. In the adobe settlements, the peo- Spanish so old it is forgotten in Spain and follow an existence only slightly changed from that laid out with guile and gun by Juan Onate, marching in from Mexico 340 yetrs ago. The 20,000 Tewa village folk live peacefully north of Santa Fe. There, goats still trample grain from wheat, groaning mills grind it into flour and Pablo trades chili for Ramon’s beans. Some own two acres, others 10 or 12, To them all the soil is life. Founded Village in 1598 The folk of Nambe, Pojoaque and San Ildefonso are courteous, talka- tive and friendly.
