CHINA'S BLUNT REPLY
PROTEST BY JAPAN
IN E VITABLE RfiACTION
CANTON, dune 17
There are grave fears of armed Japanese intervention in South China, following the Canton Government's defiant reply to the Japanese ConsulGeneral's protest against the antiJapanese demonstrations.
The reply bluntly declared that demonstrations were inevitable sequels to Japan's aggression in North China. If Japan wished them to cease, she must change her behaviour. The reply promised full protection for Japanese nationals, but emphasised that the authorities could not prohibit anti-Japanese activities, because they represented a "manifestation of the people's will and the natural reaction to Japanese action."
