FRESH WARNING Japanese Explain Attack on British Ships

DELIVERED TO CHINA LEADERS

National Government Must Alter Policies To Avoid Punishment

Shanghai, Dec. 29.

General Iwané Matsui, Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese forces in Central China, interviewed to-day, said that Japan will give the Chinese Government an opportunity of changing its attitude, but if the anti- Japanese policies are continued, Japanese troops may find it necessary to advance to Hankow and Chungking. This was the General's first press interview since the fall of Nanking.

Outlining his views of the China policy which will be followed by the Japanese Government in the future, General Matsui said that Japan may repudiate the National Government if China's present policies are not altered.

territorial

He emphasised that Japan "has no Ambitions in China, but is sacrificing so much for only the

At any rate there ought not to be a hurry about future mill- tary operations 50 KOON after the -occupation-of-Nanking-Soldiers. should get rest after every battle, and there is more reason for them to rest after four months' hostilities without a break.
