With Concern
POSITION REGARDING TALKS EXPLAINED
Shanghai, July 11,
The concern with which the National Government is watch- ing the proposed Anglo-Japanese diplomatic "negotiations is manifested in a statement issued here through the Central News Agency, official organ of the Government.
The Agency declares that the following points are the basis of the Chinese Government's position regarding the talks:-
1. All matters relating to China which are taken up in the Anglo-Japanese negotiations must be arranged with full respect for the sovereignty and territorial and administrative Integrity of the Chinese nation,
2. Any agreement on inatters pertaining to China must be preceded by an exchange of views with the Chinese, and also must be indorsed by the latter.
The statement assures, that the Chinese authorities are not inclined to indulge in premature speculations. It is recalled that the Foreign Secretary, Mr. Anthony Eden, announced before the House of Commons on June 25 that any possible understanding resulting from the Anglo-Japanese negotiations would not sacri- fice Chinese.— Onion News,
