Uncertainty Of Japanese Promises

(Intl)-

SHANGHAI, Dec. 19 Foreign shipping eircles here are not enthusiastic concerning the re-opening of the Yangtze, as only the stretch from Nanking to the sea will be open to foreign shipping.

The Japanese naval spokesman emphasized that the river is sub- ject to closing when military necessity demands.

The closing of the Pearl River is cited as an example of the uncer- tainty of Japanese promises.

British fighters then arrived and drove the Nazis of, appearing to have destroyed one as they did so, according to the ship's crew.
