DEFIANT REPLY
WILL JAPAN INTERVENE? ATTITUDE OF CANTON GOVERNMENT . By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) Received June 17, 11.20 p.m. CANTON, June 17. There are grave fears of armed Japanese intervention in South China following the Canton Government’s defiant reply to the Japanese Consul-General’s protest against anti-Japanese demonstrations. The reply bluntly declared that the demonstrations were the inevitable sequels of 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 “the manifestation of the people’s will and the natural reaction to Japanese action.”
