INTIMATION
the additional concessions made in the case of Eastern Inner Mongolia must nevitably lead to the ultimate inclusion of that strategic section of our country within the ambit of the South Mon- churian system. The declaration that we have offered to make in respect of Fukion is not less serious in the sense that the right of Japanese interference in the development of the province is formally recognised together with the corollary that that portion of the country stands on a different status to the rest of the historical provinces and is analogous WATER in principle to South Mandarin."
