Chiang Kai-shek Attacks Anglo-Japanese Understanding Opposition Is Suspicious
TOKYO AGREEMENT TO THAT "GESTURE"
APPLY TO ALL CHINA
CRAIGIE SEES NEWSPAPERMEN
TOKYO, July 25.
THE AGREEMENT reached between him- self and the Foreign Minister, Mr. Arita, applies not only to Tientsin but to all parts of China under Japanese occupation, according to Sir Robert Craigie, the British Ambassador to Japan. Receiving Japanese and British and American news. papermen at 10.30 p.m., Sir Robert said:
The agreement represents no change of the policy of the British Government, which have never had any intention of obstructing the operations of the Japanese forces in China, jeopardising the security of the Japanese
forces or disturbing public order in the Japanese
controlled area in China.
"I hope the Japanese nation will dispel any mis-
understanding regarding this point,” Ambassador Craigie continued.

Agreement Through Eyes Of The Press
GENERALISSIMO'S STERN WARNING
CHUNGKING, July 24.
"ANY understanding arrived at with regard to China by two Powers, for action to be taken without the cognizance and approval of the Chinese Government, especially such as the Anglo-Japanese agreement as rumoured here, can have no validity and could, in fact, never be put into effect."
This was the stern warning made by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek this morning.
"If we put aside all moral considerations and speak only for ourselves, we still cannot give credence to any possibility of the British really compromising with
Japan," the Generalissimo said.
"Britain is even better ac- quainted with Japan than we arc, She knows well enough that Japan is no longer her Far Eastern watch dog as she was 20 years ago, but that she is a mad dog about to turn against her British patron.

Chamberlain Has Difficult Half-Hour In The Commons
LONDON, July 24,
IN THE HOUSE of Commons to-day, Mr. R. S. Hudson answered overseas trade questions as usual, and was received with some ironical Opposition cheers.
Mr. Arthur Greenwood asked Mr. Chamberlain if he had any statement to make regarding the alleged proposals to Dr. Wolhtat, the German representative. The Prime Minister replied: "There is no proposal for a German loan."
Mr. Greenwood: "May I take it that the Cabinet has no know-
