CHIANG DISMISSES WANG TREATY: MERE SCRAP OF

OF PAPER

THE IMPORTANCE of élose cooperation be-

tween the Powers with vital interests in the Far PENALTY East against Japan the aggressor, was reiterated by Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek yesterday when in- terviewed in Chungking regarding Japan's recogni- tion of the Nanking regime.

Generalissimo Chiang recalled the passage in his message to the friendly nations on January 24 in connection with the secret agreement between Wang Ching-wei and the Japanese, then exposed by Kao Tsung-wu and Tao Hsi-sheng, ex-followers of Wang Ching-wei:

"We hope that friendly Powers will realise that Japan's feet are sinking deeper and deeper into China's quagmire and that China is at present exerting her utmost to crush our common foe in the Pacific and the principal enemy of mankind.

We

sincerely believe that the governments and peoples of the Powers will fully comprehend the consistent policy of imperialist Japan and take timely and reso- lute action to forestall its evil and inevitable consequences.

At this juncture, when Japan

is on the verge of exhaustion, the statesmen of the Powers can, without much effort, get rid of this

common danger once and for all in the Pacific.
