"WE WILL NEVER YIELD

SOVEREIGN RIGHTS"

Central Government On Peace

MONOPOLISTIC RIGHTS JAPAN'S SOLE OBJECT

Hankow, January 19.

The Chinese Government's determination to protect the sovereign rights and territorial and administrative integrity of China reiterated in a statement issued by the National Government night....

Was

Jast

Whatever be the circumstances, the Chinese Government, the statement declared, will exert its utmost efforts to maintain such sovereign rights" and integrity and any terms for the restoration of peace. If not in conformity with this fundamental principle, will not be acceptable to China,

The statement also declares that any acts in the areas now under the Japanese forcible occupation. such as the organisation of bogus governments, will be considered by the Chinese government as null and vold- either,"internally and ex- ternally.

JAPAN'S RESPONSIBILITY China's war of resistance. the statement pointed out, alms at the maintenance of her natiorial exis- tence and the preservation of the sanctity of international treaties.

After briefly reviewing the Sino- Japanese hostilities since the L- kochlao Incident. the statement charges Japan with the wanton destruction of Chinese civilian.

lives and property. That such ac- tion on the part of Japan 19 in flagrant violation of international law, the Kellogg Anti-War Pact and the Nine-Power Treaty, the statement says, has been pro- claimed by the nations of the world. Japan and not China, is therefore, to bear the full respon- sibility for disturbing interrational peace.

MONOPOLISTIC RIGHTS Japan's declaration that she st respects China's territorial and sovereign rights as well as the rights and interests of foreign Powers in China is challenged in the statement. "

By respecting China's territorial and sovereign rights, Japan. the statement explains, means only the dismemberment of China's terri- tory through the creation or various illegal organisations and the usurpation of China's sover- .eign rights by making use of these

illegal organisations formed.

Again, by respecting the rights and interests of foreign Powers in China, Japan means only to secure monopolistic rights through her dominant position in China.- Ceatral News,

Aquitania Delayed By Gale

London, Jan. 18. The destroyer Wolverine which went to the assistance in the Atlantic of the 11.000 tons Royal Fleet Auxillary. War Bahadur, which had her bridge, wireless aerial and boats swept away by a gale. escorted the oller into Plymouth Sound late last night. There are no casualities. The, War Bahadur was navigated for 300 miles from the engine room and made Plymouth under her own steam. The master of the vessel on arriving said they were lucky to be alive after five days of tremendous strain and little or no

sleep. He attributed the fine pluck and endurance of the crew in the face of tremendous trials and difficulties.
