FANTASTIC PEACE

CHIANG DID NOT REPLY

TO TOKYO DEMANDS

Hirota's Tame Assurance To Foreign Powers

Tokyo, January 22. Basic conditions for peace between Japan and China were revealed to-day for the first time by Mr. Koki Hirola, Foreign Minister, in an address before the Dist.

Mr. Hirota mald the following four points formed the founda- tion of the peace proposal submitted to Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek, recently, through German mediation.

Firstly, abandonment by China of her policy of tolerating `- Communism and opposing Japan and Manchukuo and adoption by China of a policy of co-operation in Japan and Manchu- kuo against the Communist Bloe

Secondly, establishment of demilitarized zones in certain re- quired areas and setting up of special administrations in such

areas.

Thirdly, close economic co-operation between Japan, Man- chukuo and China.

Fourthly, reparations by China to Japan,

Mr. Hirota said these were the minimum essential demands and declared. China had rejected the good offices of the Ger- man mediators and failed to reply to Japan. ·

Mr. Hirota reiterated that Japan had no territorial ambi- tions in China and did not intend to separate North China from the rest of the country. He said Japan wished China to awaken to the realities of the situation and co-operite in Sino- Japanese union for the mutual existence and co-prosperity of both nations. Mr. Hirota denied that Japan was attempting to oust foreign interests from China and said the door would re- main open in China-Reuter.

Japan Expects Long War With China

Tokyo, January 22.

"Far distant still is the end of the conflict, and it will be a long time before a settlement is reached. Ours indeed is a mo- mentous task and unparalleled a history," declared, the Premier, Prince Konoye, in his speech before the Seventy-third Session of the Diet to-day.

•

Japan, he said, would never succeed in accomplishing her task unless ali showed a dauntless spirit, gladly and courageous- ly offering themselves for their country.

Prince Konoye reiterated that the immutable rational policy of Japan aimed at permanent peace in East Asia based on close co-operation between Japan, Manchukuo and China.

"This would be a contribution to the peace of the world."' he declared.

The tension has also been re- lleved by a statement issued by the Japanese Consular omcials. The statement denies that the higher authorities were cognisant of the demands for the surrender of the alleged anti-Japanese pro- pagandist with the threat to use force if the man was not handed over. It describes the allegation as "unfounded and preposterous.".

The report alleges that the threats are attributable to faulty interpretation during the interview between an officer of the Japanese gendarmes and the police.
