In an interview inter the Ambas- sador, a diminutive, bearded Agure, stated that he considered that to an ordinary resident in Japan it was now obvious that the people were feeling the strain of the war in Chino, "If the war continues, Japan will zuffer very severely both economie- ally and morally. The longer the trouble continues the more disastrous it will be for Japan," he continued.
"Perhaps a few people in Japan really advocate a declaration of war," said the Ambassador, "but in
my opinion the time for that is not ripe. It may come if the war continues for some time longer. The question of peace, however, is out of the ques tion. Personally I am very much against such a suggestion, and do not belleve that any peace is at present proposed."
The Ambassador, who is accom- panled by Mr. H. 'K. Wel of the Chinese Consulate at Kobe, and Mr. She Zaubeh, Secretary to the Em- bassy, will remain In Hongkong with friends a few days, to rest before proceeding to Hankow..

Shanghai, Jon, 27. The Japanese Ambassador China, Mr. Shigeru Kawagoe, is re- turning to Tokyo at noon to-morrow aboard the Shanghai Maru. His de- parture is a sequel to the Japanese Government's decision not to deal with the Chiang Kai-shek adminis- tration and support the new regime. Mr. Hiromu Hoshida, Chancellor of the Japanese Embassy is accompany- ing Mr. Kawagoe.-Reuter.
JAPANESE CENSORS' DEMANDS
No Code Messages To Be Accepted
Shanghai, Jan. 27.
A Japanese Army spokesman an- nounced to-day that from to-morrow coded messages would not be ac- cepted unless consulates certifled the senders as reputable. concerns.
Firms using other than standart codes, he said, would have to de- posit n copy with the Censors. -Should-a-form-show-bad-fall)-(pre-- sumably this means sending a muss- age not what it purports to be) no further messages from it, whether in code or plain language, would be accepted.
Coded messages would not be ac- cepted from Chinese Arms, who must use plain language, he declared.
The first reaction among Brition und American firms at the announce- ment was one of Indignation. Lead- Ing British business men said nothing would ever Induce them to hand over their private codes.
They point out that the Chinese never exercised the right to inter- fere with coded messages from Bri- tish firms nor Insist on production of code books.
The American Consular officials are likely to lodge a strong protest to the Japanese Embassy.-Reuter.
