For What Happened

BY C. KUANGSON YOUNG

(Managing-Director & Editor, China Press. Formerly Chinese Consul-General, London.) Various versions have been received in Shanghai regarding the unfortunate Incident at Chengtu on August 24th when two Japanese journalists died of injuries received during a mob al- tack on the Tachuen Hotel where they were staying.

Whether the attack was provoked or not, the loss of lives as a result of mob vïo- lence is regretted by all

The victims were Mr. Kelji Fukagawa, staff member of the Shanghai Mainichi and Mr. K. Watanabe, correspondent in Shanghai of the Osaka Mainichi and the Tokyo Nichi Nichi. The other two Japanese in the party who escaped with injuries were Mr. T. Tanaka of the Shanghai office of the South Manchuria Railway and Mr. S. Seto, a businessman of Hankow.

The Chinese Governinent leaders eneralissimo Chiang Kai-shek. Vice-President H. H. Kung, und Foreign Minister Chang Chun--and the Japanese Ambasador, Kawagoe, took a serious view of the matter and emissarles have been despatched to Chengtu from both sides to obtain Arst hand and re- hable information regarding the unfortunate incident. At the same time, the spokesman of the Minis- try of Foreign Affairs in Nanking expressed the hope that both China and Japan would bear in mind the general situation between the two countries and abstain from any emotional extremity so as to avoid unnecessary, and undesirable complications-an expression that has received general endorsement from the press throughout this country.

Take the Central Daily News as an example, it editorially urged Japan not to make too big an afair out of an unfortunate local Incident. Going further, it stated: the "Regardless of the cause of unfortunate deaths of the two Japanese citizens, the deepest re- gret should be expressed by both
