ARMS FOR CHINA
Japan Protests To Germany (Rec. 6.30 p.m.) London, July 4. The Tokyo correspondent of The Times says that the Japanese Ambassador to Berlin has protested to the German Government about an agreement between China and Germany for the sale of arms to China, pointing out that the agreement conflicts with the Treaty of Versailles and is likely to impair Japan’s existing friendly relations with Germany, especially as Japan is opposed to the sale of arms to China. German Foreign Office has replied that the agreement is intended only to promote trade between China and Germany. Japanese correspondents in China declare that under the agreement Germany undertakes to provide China with a large quantity of munitions, including anti-aircraft guns, mortars and tanks, and is accepting payment over a period of from four to six years in raw materials.
