'Reed, noon.)
Under no circumstances will China recognise Japanese leadership in the establishment of the so-called Greater Asia, nor will she ever recognise the validity of Japan's "new order," declares an official statement issued in Chungking in connection with the tripartite pact between the Axis and Japan.
The statement adds that the pact clearly seeks to invalidate the legitimate rights of third Powers, both in Europe and in Asia—a policy against which China " s alwavs striven.
The pact can never affect China's position and her legitimate rights, nor can it ever tend to affect the policy of the Chinese National Government.
According to a message from Tokyo, the "Xichi Xiehi" states that joint technical commissions will be established soon in Tokyo and Berlin, thus implementing the tripartite pact.
The journal says that owing to the importance of the commissions, which will be divided into political, military and economic categories, "men of large calibre" will be appointed.
