CHINESE ARMY’S STAND

Japanese Not Allowed to

Land CONCERN AT CANTON Canton, 13. Grave concern has followed the refusal of the Chinese 19th Army to allow Japanese officials to land at Palp ho; from the gunboat Sagi to investigate the murder of the Japanese Nakano. Remonstrances by Chinese officials aboard a warship from Canton s were unavailing, despite the presence of a Japanese squadron. The ‘‘Daily Mail’s” Tokio correspondent reported last week that following the murder of a Japanese merchant, Junzo Nakano, by a Chinese mob at Pakhoi, the naval authorities had ordered part of the Thirteenth Destroyer Flotilla to proceed there from Shanghai, and also the gunboat Sagi with diplomatic investigators aboard. It issued simultaneously a statement that the naval authorities would insist on a thorough settlement of all crimes against Japan in China.
