BOMBING OF NANKING
Japanese Press Provides
Answer
(Received September 28, 1.30 a.m.) London, September 27.
The Tokio correspondent of “The Times” says'the Japanese Press provides an answer for the ruthless bombing of Nanking, which Is regarded as the focus of the Chinese defences. If the administration were physically destroyed and the Government driven out, the fragile Chinese unity might rapidly disintegrate and Japan’s task be simplified. Such a result was worth the risk of foreign complications. The Shanghai correspondent of “The Times” reports that the bombings have given the elegant city of Nanking the appearance of the face of the moon, but officialdom in scientific dugouts has weathered the storm and Government equanimity is undisturbed.
