Shanghal, March 29. Considerable divergence of opin- fon, It is said, has arisen in Japan- ese military and political quarters regarding the Japanese-sponsored poppet governments at Pelping and Nanking.

While a strong group advocates that the Pelping government! should be the only government be- cause only a government holding all power would be in the positioni to conclude and guarantee obser- vance of treaties. another group favours the Nanking government while a third group wants the co- existence of both governments.

Pamphlets dropped from Japan- ese aeroplanes yesterday announc- ed that the new govemment at Nanking regards itself merely as a | provisional government and ex- Dects to be amalgamated even- tually with the Pelping govern- ment.

Prague, March 20.

In a radio talk last night, Dr. Milan Hodza, Czech Premier, dis- cussed the political situation at home and abroad.

He said that the statement made by Mr. Neville Chamberlain in the House of Commons had shown that the British Prime Minister had rightly understood the declaration which he bad made in the Czech Parliament on March 4.

Furthermore, Berlin had given to understand in an official state- ment that Germany had no inten- tion of Interfering in the domestic affals of Czechoslovakia.

The British Prime Minister, sald Dr. Hodza, had also referred to the minority problem in Czecho-
