Another Chance For China!

Shanghal, Dec. 29. General Iwane Matsui, Comman- der-in-Chief of the Japanese forces In Central China, Interviewed to- day, said that Japan will give the

Outlining his views of the China policy which will be followed by the Japanese Government in the future, General Matsu said that Japan may repudiate the National Government if China's present policles are not altered.

He emphasised that Japan "has no territorial ambitions in China. but is sacrificing so much for only the purpose of establishing peace In the Far East."

Answering questions by news- papermen, General Matsuf said: "At the time of the capture of Nanking I clearly expressed an opinion so that there is not much more for me to say now. At Any

rate there ought not to be a hurry about future military operations so soon after the occupation of Nanking. Soldiers should get rest after avery battle, and there 15 more reason for them to rest after four months' hostilltles without a break.

REAL INTENTION

"AL the same time we would like to give the Chinese me to reconsider their attitude. Of course if they don't mend their ways we may have to go even as far as Hankow and Chungking.
