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..

GENERALISSIMO'S STERN WARNING
CHUNGKING, July 24.
"ANY understanding arrived at with regard 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 connot give credence to any
