TEXT OF
JAPANESE DEMANDS TO GT. BRITAIN
WHAT purports to be the text of the Japanese demands which were present- ed to Great Britain on June 28 came into the hands of the "Telegraph" this morning from a source which we believe to be reliable.
It is believed that the text will be re- leased for publication in Tokyo and London within the next 48 hours.
The "Telegraph," whilst relying upon its source, cannot vouch for the accuracy of the text published below. The Japaneese demands, according to this source, are
divided into two sections.
The first relates to the Burma
rison at Shanghai, and Chinese currency.
GOOD NEWS Road, the British military gar- FOR OUR EVACUEES
The second section relates to Hongkong:
The alleged text of the first section demands:
1. Complete closure of the Burma Road and Hongkong frontier;
Withdrawal of the British gar-
rison from the Shanghai area; ' 3thdrawal of support for Clip- ese national currency.
