HONG KONG DAILY PRESS, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1937.

PRESS URGES

ACTION

London, Sept. 25.

The Liberal and Labour press continues its advocacy of economic pressure against Japan.

The "News Chronicle" says that "telegrams. telephone messages and letters of horrided protest against the Japanese butchery of non-combatants are pouring into our ofee."

Urging a boycott of Japanese goods, the journal adds: "Japanese economy is dependent on the com- mercial goodwill of the world, and this is the route by which Tokyo can be brought to its senses.“

The Labour "Dally Herald" says that with unanimity and strength. as remarkable as it is encouraging. all the civilised world yesterday expressed horror at the raids on Chinese towns and its contempt for the human beings who ordered them.

"Elther economic restraints be applied, or else the carnage con- tinues...

"Economic pressure should be applied and a conference called to organise its application.

"Responsibility rests most direct- ly upon Britain and the United States.

"Responsibility rests most direct- ly upon Britain and the United States.

Ji

"So great is their power that probably no other action would be needed to end the war beyond a Joint Anglo-American decision to buy no silk and cotton goods from Japan and to sell her o oll, iron. cotton. rubber or machinery."

UNIVERSAL SENSE OF HORROR

The "Morning Post," in an edi tortal, says that Britain's new Note of protest to Japan over the bomb- ing of Nanking and Canton reflects the universal sense of horror and revulsion caused by these merciless massacres.

"What is at stake is no longer simply the lives, property or in- terests of foreigners. It is the elementary decencies of civilisation Itself.

"Whatever may be the rights and wrongs of Japan's dispute with China" (and we are among those who have never concealed our ap- preciation of Japan's legitimate grievances) no sort of sympathy is to be gained for the Japanese cause. Į by a policy of sheer frightfulness as an end in itself.

"We cannot believe that these atrocities are approved or condon- ed by the vast majority of people in Japan, who in point of chivalry and humane feeling, compare not unfavourably with any other na- tion in the world.

"The truth seems to be that a small but powerful and ruthless clique has run amok.

We are convinced that it the Japanese people properly under- stood what is being enacted ostep- sibly on their behalf, they would react in the same way as any out- side critic.

"It can only be hoped that they will come to such knowledge and act upon it before the reputation of their country is irreparably damaged in the eyes of the world.”

EXPLORATION OF

SHIVA'S PLATEAU

Grand Canyon (Arizona)

Sept. 25. The climbing party of the Ameri- can Museum of Natural History has scored another triumph in its exploration of Shiva's Plateau, a Grand Canyon portion of the which has not been visited by man since the dawn of time.

Yesterday they succeeded in as- cending Wotan's Throne, an even more difficult climb than Shiva's Temple.

Signal fires announced the safe arrival of the party to anxious walters below.-Reuter,

The plane burst in flomes in mid- air

and plunged to the earth. Fascinated crowds below. Irresist ably ignoring personal' risks to watch the spectacle, shouted and clapped their hands delicious with joy.

Two other Japanese planes were also shut down, one ending its career in the South City, and the other in the northern area,

When the first alarm shrilled people everywhere scampered for the dug-outs. Some ten minutes later ten Chinese pursuit planes took to the air to give battle.

A second alarm was given at 9.37 a.m. After eighteen minutes tense waiting fourteen Japanese planes appeared from the south in a long ine looking like a sinister dragon.
