THE NORTH
Co-operation With Japan Or Separation
Shanghai, October 23.
A threat that Japan would move to separate the North China provinces from the control of Nanking unless the Central Gov- ernment-co-operates with the Japanese was contained in a state- ment issued by a spokesman at the Japanese Embassy here.
The spokesman said that Chinese fears of a Japanese-spon- sored movement for the separation of North China from Nan- king, would be warranted “only if Nanking intends to refuse to co-operate with the Japanese in promoting the developing of a natural economic affinity between North China and Manchukuo, and Incombating communistic Influences working through Outer Mongolia."
Such fears have been in evidence for some time, and were heightened by Dairen dispatches regarding the conference of the Kwangtung army leaders there with respect to North China
"Japan feels that these objec- tives." the Japanese spokesman continued, "which are equally in China's as in Japan's Interests, can best be achieved with Nanking'
¡ voluntary co-operation; without change in the political status of the north,
"Future events will depend upon Nanking's attitude. Ultimately Far Eastern peace depends upon the co-operation of China with Man chukuo and Japan...
