CHUNGKING, Nov. 29. THE CHINESE COMMUNISTS have released a tele- gram sent on November 5 to the Japanese Com-
munists.
The telegram stated: “As a result of the China in- vasion, several hundred-thousand Japanese troops have been sacrificed on the battlefronts, and the people's liveli. hood in Japan proper has been made more difficult.
"The invasion and the Chinn war are contrary to the welfare of the Japanese people, and therefore the Japanese mili- tarists and Fascists are not only the life and death enemies of the Chinese people, but are also the enemy of the Japanese people.
"The Chinese and Japanese people! must unite to create an anti-Japanese Fateist united front to overthrow this common enemy.

Germany Mobilising Report Repudiated
FURIOUS PRESS ATTACKS
"Perfidious Lies" Of "News-Chronicle"
Berlin, Nov, 20. Indignation was aroused in the German evening papers to-day by the assertion of the News-Chronicle that Herr Hitler has mobilised three army corps and that 100,000 men will be under arms near the Czecho- Slovakia frontier on Saturday,
Before refuting this report, German papers recall that the News-Chronicle indulged in the same tactics during the crisis period last summer, publishing a series of false statements designed to turn world
against Germany.
Reich takes very sharp ex- ception to the poisoning tactics of this gangster type of journalism," states the semi-oMcial German News Agency, in commenting on the Lon- don report.
"Making use of the same corrupt means, it endeavours, for the second time, to undermine pacification which was beginning to make pro- gress in Europe. We declare with all emphasis that there can be 10 чис question of mobilisation, and that the speculations of the News-Chronicle are nothing more than the out- come of hate against Germany which has led to attempts to weaken and

Taking still sharper exception to the
Berliner report, the
Lokal Anzeiger writes: "These perildious lies of this English agitation sheet knock the pins from under the cask. Out of the clear heavens this lamentable organ seizes an atrocity story which represents the limit of the comonien of Ineltement which the News-Chronicle has been carry- ing on
