ATTACKS ON JUNKS
HONG KONG WATERS
CRITICISM OF JAPANESE
(Received November 3, 11.30 a.m.) HONG KONG, November 2. The "South China Morning Post," in an editorial, takes to task the Japanese for daily confiscations of Chinese junks in Hong Kong waters. The confiscations are accompanied by varying degrees of brutality and frequently exceed the ruthlessness of the U-boat campaign. The Japanese navy ■■ persists in the attacks, presumably to expel Chinese fishermen from lucrative grounds to make way for Japanese, or to provide loot for sailors. The newspaper asserts that it is certainly discouraging to Hong Kong residents to see trespass attacks made under the guns, of the fortress with impunity.
