CANTONESE DEFY JAPAN. [by CABLE—PBESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.] CANTON, June 17. There are grave fears of armed Japanese intervention in South China, following the Canton Government giving a defiant reply to the Japanese Consul-General, when he made a protest against anti-Japanese demonstra- 1 tions. The reply bluntly declared that the demonstrations were the inevitable sequels to Japan’s aggression in Norh China, and that, if Japan wished them to cease, she must change her behaviour.
The reply promised full protection for Japanese nationals, but it emphasised that the Canton authorities could not prohibit anti-Japanese activities, because they represented the “Manifestation of the people’s will and a natural reaction to the Japanese action.’’
