The Ta Kung Pao declares that the attack shows Japan's total disregard of International law and the rights and interests of third powers. Japan's only goal, the journal says, is the elimination of European and American Interests and influence in the Far East.
Turning to the allegatlon that the altack was aimed at Dr. Sun Fo. President of the Legislative Yuan, and severni prominent Chinese econ- omists, the paper says that Japan apparently intends to eliminate in- Quential Chinese-Central Newa.

be able to tell you," he may sald.
He would not discuss the part he had played in the tragedy and said that a full announcement would be given by the
company later. "I am sure no details will be with- held, but It is essential that this thing should be handled from a cen- tral organisation," he said.
The local manager of Pan- American Airways, Mr. Delaney, who went on
the Mindando Jast night, said to-day that the company officials would furnish a full state- ment, probably this afternoon. "I'm sorry I can't tell you anything Just now. You will have to be patient but all the details will be revealed," he said.
