REPORT OF CLASH BETWEEN INDIAN AND JAPANESE TROOPS

Military authorities yesterday categorically denied the report that Japanese troops had attempt- ed to cross into the New Terri- tories from Shataukok two days ago, and that,"in the course of the resistance put up by the Rajpu-

tana Rifles, several Indian soldiers

were wounded.

: MISTAKE MADE It was stated that some Japan- one occasion eae soldiers did on as soon as an interpreter arrived trespass on British territory, but

to clear up the language dificulty and pointed out their mistake, the Japanese retired to Chinese soll.

The situation along the border is said to be quiet, and it has not been necessary to reinforce the original force drawn from the Middlesex Regiment and the Raj putana Rifles for duty in guarding the British posts.

TOKYO CONFERENCE

BY KUNG LING - KAI

(Special to the Hongkong Daily Press")

(Continued from yesterday)

At present, a number of factors engage the atten- tion and consideration of the British Government. Apparently,".such a change as contemplated is in direct violation of the letter as well as the spirit of the League resolutions, the Declaration of the Brussels Conference, and the Nine-Power Pact. In all prob- abilities, it will not fail to call forth unfavourable re- ections and intensify suspicions in both America and Soviet Russia, to the detriment of Anglo-American and Anglo-Soviet co-operation in the Far East and Europe.. Besides, can Britain ever satisfy Japan's demands and expect in the meantime to safeguard her own interests? Last but not least, the abandonment of her previous stand will certainly impair Anglo-Chinese friendship.
