NOT A BREAKDOWN

JAPANESE NEGOTIATIONS AT SHANGHAI

HITCH DUE TO TWO POINTS

Tokyo, Saturday. Pending receipt of an official report, Japanese official circles are inclined to believe that Press despatches alleging a breakdown in the negotiations between Dr. C. T. Wang (the Chinese Minister for Foreign Affairs) and Mr. K. Yoshi zawa (the Japanese Minister, to China) are more pessimistic than warranted.

Japanese official circles profess to be confident that these Sino-Japan- ese negotiations have not completely broken down (an earlier report from Shanghai bad mentioned a definite deadlock) and think that there is only a temporary hitch which can be remedied after a few more con. ferences.
