Japanese troops may be stationed in China after the termination of the current hostilities. This was indicated to the House of Representatives by General Sugiyama, War-Minister, replying to a query whether or not it was necessary to have permanent garrisons in China when peace is restored there.

Other important declarations made by members of the Cabinet included Mr. Koki Hirota's statement that the four peace terms made public by him on January 22 would' form the basis of any future peace negotiations, and his disclosure that the Japanese Government intended to demand full indemnification by China for damages suffered by Japanese nationals there.
