JAPANESE DENY REPORTS
Arming Of Raiders (Received December 29, 11.40 p.m.) TOKIO, December 28. The navy spokesman characterized as “false and fabricated” reports that German vessels in Japanese-controlled China harbours are arming for raiding activities. He said the navy had not permitted this and no such activities were at present in progress .in the aforementioned harbours. He said that such reports were undoubtedly similar to the unconfirmed report that a German warship with a Japanese name and flag shelled Nauru, the purpose being to cause disturbance. He said he was without information as to whether German raiders were active and making a rendezvous in Japanese mandated islands.
