JAPAN IS HAVING PUPPET TROUBLE

MUCH

ONG KONG, JUNE 26.

TUCH HAS BEEN said by the Japanese in attempts to justify and -explain their "poly.war" to "liberate" the Chinese people from "heir supposedly "cruel, callous corrupt and Incompetent leaders" forming the National Government of China, but now the Japanese find that the inhabitants of the "occupied areas are tar frdm will-, ing to pay allegiance to the two administrations the invaders have set up at Peiping and Nanking

..

Eventually the Japanese hope that these "Chiness" governments will be merged, but there appears to be great difficulty in persuading either puppet that it should be absorbed by its rival.

"To be frank, the new North China regime is still in its in: fancy, though it is on the road of development. Save for Japan's positive support, there is no-one to care for and bring up the new regime. Therein lies the grave responsibility of Japan: Shmul- taneously, we should say that much of Japan's own future wel fare depends on whether or not, the Peking regime has a sound -growth."

This admission is more than frank-It is positively staggering! grateful to Japan for driving out the allegedly hateful and oppressive influence of the National Government from North China, there is out of the 40 milion Chinese who are supposed to be exceedingly, "no-one to care for and bring up the new regime"!

The whole responsibility is left on Japan's shoulders and the millions of Chinese whom she has "freed" from the chains and shackles allegedly imposed upon them by their own National Govern- ment are hot doing a thing to help their "benefactors.”

CONSEQUENTLY there is no alternative but for Japan to see that the "Independence" of these people is maintained-since they are not disposed to lift a finger to bring up the new regime" which the Japanese army has established.

In 1931 Japan took upon herself the "grave responsibility" of giving the Chinese in Manchuria their "Independence," and even gave them an "Emperor." whether, they wanted him or not.

But, according to a foreign' observer." the three main cities of Manchuria-Mukden, Changchun and Harbin--even now, after, seven years, give one the impression as of cities that are still only in the course of formation while foreigners are discouraged from investing in the country.

In one respect and a rather unexpected one-a new politicul -tendency appears to be making considerable headway. This is the colonial feeling that seems to be growing among Japanese residents a feeling of being something quite different and apart from the motherland.

|

These sentiments were very noticeable in the open and host!le criticism of the conduct of the army people, and the demand that they be left alone to run Manchuria themselves and not in the interests of capitalists in Japan or of the Kwantung Army -
