JAPANESE WARNING EMPIRE TO FOREIGN PLANES: FLY AT OWN RISK

NEWS RISK ANGLO-AUSTRALIAN

Shanghai, Aug. 25.

What amounts to a warning that all aeroplanes, including Imperial Airways, Air France and Pan-American liners, are liable to be shot down if they fly over Chinese territory was issued by a Japanese spokesman this afternoon at a press conference.

After announcing that all aeroplanes flew over China, where hostilities were proceeding, at their own risk, the spokesman explained that the shooting of the C.N.A.C. machine was due to the fact that it attempted to escape, which made it appear a hostile craft.

The spokesman added that any machine flying in China, whether forced there by weather or other cause, which attempted to escape, would be treated as hostile and liable to be shot down. Ho definitely

Questioned as to what would be the best thing for an airliner to do when it was chased by Japanese planes, the spokesman said, "The best way to avoid such a jeopardy is to stay on the ground."

Regarding third party aircraft proceeding to Hongkong, the spokes- man indicated that information pro- vided to the Japanese authorities by the Imperial Airways, the Pan- American Airways and France regarding the route, time, flight and other particulars is mini- mising potential dangers.-Domel.
