SHANGHAI Sued For
DISPUTE
Both China And Japan Peeved With Council
Shanghai, July 3,
A
Criticism of the Municipal Council for refusing to recognise the Japan- ese-sponsored City Government of Greater Shanghai was voiced by Japanese Embassy spokesman fo- night. He referred to the Council's decision to hand over the Land Bureau title deeds through the Ja- panese Consul-General, saying this was apparently being done as the Counell did not recognise the City Government.
In his personal opinion, the spokes- men said, the refusal of the Council to state that the handing over wDS actually to the City Government was ridiculous.
