JAPANESE ALLOWED TO LAND AT PAKHOI
LESS TENSION OVER MURDER OF MERCHANT.
(United Press Assn. —Telegraph Copyright.)
Shanghai, September 17.
The tension at Pakhoi has been eased by the withdrawal of the Chinese 19th Army, thus permitting the Japanese to land and investigate the murder of the Japanese merchant, Junzo Nankano, by a Chinese mob.
Following the murder of Nankano by a Chinese mob at Pakhoi, the Japanese Admiralty ordered part of the 13th Destroyer Flotilla to proceed there from Shanghai, and also the gunboat Suga, with diplomatic investigators abroad. Simultaneously it issued a statement that the naval authorities would insist on a thorough settlement of all anti-Japanese crimes in China. A similar statement was issued by the Army.
