The Japanese will raise the wider concessions in Issue of foreign China, stated Major-General Muto, leader of the Japanese delegation,

to the press.

Gen. Muto said shaz Japanese military operations in China "have been constantly hindered during the two years of war by the activi tles of anti-Japanese elements in the forel Concesions."

Shanghai and Tientsia

He referred especially to Shang- hai and Tientsin, calling the latter the "centre of Communist activity and intrigue in North China."

The Hochi Shimbun" calls Bri- tain the arch-enemy of Japan, and says that elimination of Bri- tish influence in the Far East would be in the interests of man- kind and justice."
