HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER Generalissimo States China's CHINA REGRETS
Stand
Shanghal, Aug 31. "The question upon what terms China will agree to terminate hostilities can only be answered when Japan decides to withdraw from the impossible position in which she finds herself vis-a-vis China and the world.”
· So declared General Chiang Kai- shek in an exclusive Interview with Reuter yesterday.
The Generalissimo urged the necessity of international interven- tion in the undeclared Sino- Japanese war, not only for China's sake but for the sake of world peace.
...
He said the simple truth was that Japan took action with the
object of establishing a continental
empire.
General Chiang added that un-
questionably a distinct respons bility rested on the shoulders of semeone to take steps to prevent the utter ruination of China, and to secure possiblities of conducting legitimate trade.

ese will probably endeavour to use as justification for the attempted annexation of additional sections of Chinese territory.
JAPAN'S DESIGNS Additional results were the re- velation of the systematic inten- tion of Japan to devastate the im portant seaports of China and proof that China, although con- siderably weaker than Japan, re- fuses to continue to submit to the treatment that Japan is accustom- ed to accord her.
sald that
The Generalissimo Japan is steadily wiping out her own investments in China and her own commercial opportunities, where wise statesmanlike and courteous treatment of the Chinese people would unquestionably give her a virtual monopoly of the country's trade.
INADEQUATE EQUIPMENT China, with inadequate equip- ment. was fighting not only her own battle but the battle of all nations who base their lives on the sanctity and validity of treaties, and China was particularly carry- ing the burden for those nations whose large commercial interests in China are being systematically destroyed.
