JAPANESE LEVER: S'HAI COMMENT
SPECIAL TO THE "TELEGRAPH" ̈SHANGHAI, April-2-(UP)---Informed quarters, commenting on the report in the "Hongkong Telegraph" that Japan may utilise the Chinese Maritime Customs revenue as a lever in an attempt to force recognition of Wang Ching-wei, draw attention to yesterday's report from Nanking.
This report (also quoted by Soldiers Cast the "Telegraph" yesterday) quoted Chou Fo-bai, Wang's Finance Minister, as stating that the new Nanking regime would recognise foreign debts, but
would "determine payment ac- cording to the nature of the debts."
