CLARIFICATION OF TERRITORIAL

DESIGNS SOUGHT
[
Tokyo, Jan. 24.
The Premier, Prince Konoye, was kept extremely busy in the
Dlet yesterday answering a barrage of questions from Mr. Hoshito
Shimada, the Selyukai leader, respecting China.
Mr. Shimada asked: "What are the Government's plans for
the vast tract of land extending from North to Central China and covering more than half of China?" Why does the Govern- ment hesitate to declare war on China? What has the Govern- ment done to assist the now regime in China?
R
Mr. Shimada declared is ridiculous to hear the Govern- ment's stock phrase "Japan has no territorial designs on China” on every possible occasion
The Suikal leader demanded to know what the Government intended to do with the vast "no man's-land” detached from the control of the Chiang Kai-shek administration.
JAPAN IN CONTROL
He said: "The Government may have no territorial designs, but who controls this vast tract of land but Japan?"
Mr. Shimada asserted that there was "absolute necessity for organis- ing a new regime in China to manifest Japan's firm Intention towards the land now under her occupation."
JE
Replying, the Premier said the Government not only refused to have further dealings with
the Nationalist administration, but had also embarked on military and other operations to overthrow it.
Japan, he added, “does not walt for the organisation of the new. regime with her hands in her pockets, Government realises the necessity and the obligation to assist the new regime in China until it is firmly established."
However, the Primier concluded." this will never run counter to the preservation of Chinese sovereignty and territorial integrity.-- Reuter
FOREIGN INVESTMENTS Prince Konoye repeated the Japanese intention of maintaining the "open door". in China. Fe pointed out that foreign invest- ments were "absolutely necèssury“, to promote the utilisation of land values in China.
"ABSOLUTELY NECESSARY" Continuing Prince Konoye said: "Japan has not the slightest in- tention of conqueiing China and closing the door to foreign coun- tries. Access by foreign Powers to interests in China should be kept open and feel that foreign in- vestments are absolutely necessary to promote the utilisation of land in China.
Answering another question, the Premier said that if the Chiang Kai-shek regime were to survive It would have to become the subject of the new Chinese Government. He said that Japan may still de- clare war on China if the necessity arose and Japan" was not idly hoping, with hands in pockets for the formation of the North China reclme, but she "felt the necessity and the responsibility" to set as foster-parent until such an ad- ministration established.

NO THIRD POWER Mr. Hirota replying to questions by Mr. Kawasaki, said: "There is absolutely no possibility whatever of a third Power mediating between. China, and Japan. Japan is pre- pared to wait for the new adminis- tration to arise in China and negotiate with the latter for ad- Justment of relations, and this as a fact which we belleve Is well I understood by foreign countries.
Prince Konoye's staternent was mude afer Mr. Tsutsum! had in- quired what attitude would be adopted should the Chiang regime reconsider its starïd.
"NO OFFERS"
Mr. Tsutsumi suggested that the Japanese Government should re- ject any such offer from the Chiang regime unless the latter surrendered by abandoning armed resistance to Japan. Mr. Tsutsumi
He said that as regards the phrase "cease relations with China” in the recent Japanese Government statement, It meant that Japan did not intend to deal with the Nationalist Government for adjust-also asked whether the Japanese ment of relations between the two countries. and "I declare on this occasion there is no possibility of Japan negotiating ·with the Nationalist Government for settle- ment of the incident," he added.
Government intended to declare war on China in order to prevent. China the shipment of arms to from abroad and whether the Government had made plans to control increases of commodity prices and whether the army in- tended to send to China more divi- slons now stationed in Japan.
Replying to interpellations by Mr. Kawasaki; of the Minselto Party. Prince Konoye declared: "We have often announced that Japan respects the rights" and interests of foreign countries in China. There has until 'o-day. been much misunderstanding on the part of foreign Powers regard-as ing the position and policies of study before an announcement is our country in the Far East.“
Replying to the last question, the War Minister, General Sugiyama, said he was not at liberty to make a statement regarding transporta- tion of further divisions to China the matter should be tiven
