CHINA AND JAPAN

THE FAR EAST CRISIS WARNING TO CHINESE GOVERNMENT Press Association —By Telegraph—Copyright WASHINGTON, January 21. The Japanese Minister of Foreign Affairs on Friday night issued a warning to “ the Government and people of China against unfortunate eventualities that may arise ” from what he described as the invasion of the Jehol province by Chinese troops and a “ positive anti-Japanese movement.” The Minister spoke in the Japanese Diet and the text of his remarks was made public by the Embassy here. SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENT SHANGHAI, January 21. A significant development at Shanhaikwan is the establishment of a firstclass Japanese post office in the former Chinese telegraph office. The significance of this lies in the fact that Shanhaikwan is in China proper, being south of the Great Wall. A movement is said to be afoot to incorporate the city in Manchukuo. COMMITTEE’S LABOURS IN VAIN GENEVA, January 22. (Received January 23, at 11.10 a.m.) The committee has abandoned hope of Sino-Japanese conciliation, though any interim compromise proposals will be considered pending reference of the situation to the Assembly, which must decide early in February whether or not conciliation is actually hopeless.
