“A HOSTILE ACT WITHOUT USE OF ARMS CONTRARY ALL STANDARDS OF JUSTICE AND FRIENDSHIP"

CHINA CALLED UPON TO SUPPRESS MOVEMENT.

Tokyo, Yesteday.

A very strong protest is being handed to Nanking to-morrow, de nouncing the failure to comply with request to check the unti- Japanese movement, accusing China of failure to observe the Geneva pledge to refrain from aggravating the situation, and holding

the Chinese Government responsible for the injury and loss of Japanese lives and property-Reuter.

The Protest.

Following is the lext of the Memorandum handed to Nanking to-day':---

Japanese Government has already made it clear that Manchurian nffair is nothing but outcome of [deep-rogled anti-Japanese feeling iu China which has taken specially provocative form in recent chal- lunge to Japanese troops compelling latter to resort to measures of self- defence. Responsibility for pre- sent situation naturally lies with Chinese Government. "Severance of Economic Relations With Japan."

Japanese Government has time and again requested Chinesec Gov- ernment to take proper steps to check Anti-Japanese movement 80 carried .out . in systematically various places in China. desirous of maintaining relations between two countries has exercised Government

PRERFES

Aggravating the Situation.

It will be remembered that at re- cent meeting of eouncil of League of Nations at Geneva Chinese re-i presentative as well as Japanese! gave assurance that their respec- tive Governments would endeavour to prevent aggravation of situation. Chinese Government obviously! against that pledge is actually aggravating situation by making no honest or effectiva effort to re strain activities of Anti-Japanese societics, which are jeopardizing lives and property as well as liberty of trade of Japanese subjects in different parts of China...

Hold China Responsible. Japanese Government desires to call once more serious attention of Chinese

these Government to actions on part of Anti-Japanese socletics and to declare at

same

time that Chinese Government will be held responsible for whatever be consequences of Its fallure to suppress Anti-Japanese movement and to afford adequate protection to lives and property of Japanese sub-j jects in China.
