CHINA NOTE ON WANG HANDED TO THE LEAGUE

(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL")

Geneva, To-day. DR. VICTOR HOO, CHINA'S representative at the League of Nations, yesterday handed M. Joseph Avenol, the Se- cretary-General, the text of the Chinese Note to foreign powers in connexion with the formation of the Wang Ching-wei regime in Nanking.

The Note reads: "Since they invaded China the Japanese have used all possible means to establish, through the conquest of China, their hegemony in Asia and the Pa- cific area.

CHINESE AIR ATTACK ON DEPOTS

"After nearly three years of fierce. struggle the Japanese, despairing of success, have established an organisa- tion in Nanking pretending to be the national government of the Chinese Republic.

"It is in reality only a puppet or- ganisation created and directed by the Japanese army to

rights.

The Japanese airfield at Yuncheng, where about 30 enemy planes were grounded, was heavily attacked. Many direct hits were scored.

As the Chinese machines circled over the town, anti-aircraft guns dir- ected desultory and ineffective fire at them.
