SINO-JAPANESE

RELATIONS

Continued from Page 11

POINT OF UNITY Chou: "apanese views may not be unified, but they are At one thought in Invading China. Why not the Japanese War Office check the activities of Lieut.-General Kenji Dothara and the Kwangtung Command? The Japanese General Staff does not stop their activities, nor dues the Foreign Office oppose them. Therefore, while the Japan- ese manner of approach and view- point may be different, they are united in invading China.

"It is said that Japanese dif- ference of views is reflected by the Chinese people. but this is not so. While Chinese opinion is very com- plicated, there is never any wish for Japanese aggression of China. It is unnecessary to say that Japan has been in the wrong since Sept. 18, 1931.

Indian shipping, he said, had made rapid progress in the past few years, and his own Company owned at present about twenty ships, with an aggregate tonnage of over 160,- 000 tons the largest ship being about 9,000 tons and the smallest about 4,500 tons.

Besides, there were other Indian shipping Companies operating on the cost of India engaged both in the passenger and cargo traffic.

EXCELLENT BEHAVIOUR The Chinese are now thorough- ly accustomed to these frequent black-outs, and their behaviour throughout the ralds is excellent.

No detalls are to hand yet but Canton itself was not visited by to-night's raiders,

As a result we already lost several provinces. When I next see you again, you may say you cannot live up to what you may have suggested now, and you may have to hit your mouth again. Then China will be in 1 pitiable condition.

Just before he departed, General Matsul said that Formosa Univer- sity would like to exchange pro- fessors with Sun Yat-sen Univer- sity.
