Japan Dictates To British Ambassador
LONDON. June 24. The Japanese Vice-Minister for Foreign Affairs (Mr Masayuki Tani), summoned the British Ambassador (Sir Robert Craigie), and demanded the stoppage of the transport of supplies through Burma and Hongkong to the Chinese Government. The Chinese Foreign Minister (Mr Wang Chung-hui), in a statement at Chungking said: “In the event that the Japanese aim at the invasion of Indo-China, the Chinese Government will preserve China’s existence and independence, and will be constrained to take such measures in self-defence as may be necessary to cope with the situation.”
