MASS MEETING VIRULENTLY ANTI-BRITISH
E. T. Maitland Tells His Version Of Shanghai Episode
Shanghai, Dec. 6.
Japanese residents of Shanghai held a mass meeting yesterday in connection with the "flag incident" during the Japanese military parade through the International Settlement on Friday when, it is alleged, Mr. E. T. Mait- land, broke a Japanese flag across his knee. The residents passed a resolution requesting the Japanese Government to "assume a determined stand and to take all mea- sures necessary to secure consideration of the inci- dent by the British Government and the people by im- pressing upon them the outrageous nature of the affair which cannot be condoned:"
Speaking at the mass meeting, Mr. Hamano, President of the Japanese Residents' Corporation, solemnly con- tended that the flag incident was a clear indication of Britain's pro-Chinese and anti-Japanese attitude. All of the speeches at the meeting were virulently anti-British.
