Secretary of State
 Was Denounced
(Continued from Page 1.)

"Mr Stimson is quoted as say ing that the Japanese army in Manchuria ran amuck. This is con sidered a very bold statement. We wonder if he considered the mean ing of his words before he used them." .
 MT Stimson is quoted as accus- ing Japan of intending to take Manchuria completely. He ought to give his reasons for thinking so."
 After reading the statement to foreign correspondents, 8 foreign office spokesman said:
 If MT Stimson intends to in- yoke the nine power treaty, as the Associated Press says, we suggest that he read article four.
 Japan regards the act of Chang Hsueh- -Lang's government as in imical to the security of Japan. If Washington intends interfering in the Manchurian affair, this is in imical to Japanese security.
 MT Stimson's rash statement, If the Associated Press quoted him correctly, will stiffen China's atti- tude around Chirchow and cause the Chinese concentrations not to withdraw. We presume that alarm ists reports abroad yesterday caus- ed MT Stimson to make his state ment."
 The spokesman said the state ment was the more unfortunate because 1t came at a time when negotiations were proceeding through the French and British ambassadors and Aristide Briand for the withdrawal of Chang Hsueh-Liang's troops inside the great wall.
 The spokesman asked Foreign correspondents if the yconsidered the report given the foreign office correct. The Associated Press re- preventative noted that Stimson had not been quoted directly.
 State Department Refutes
 Washington, Nov 28-(U. P.) - The state department answering a bitter Japanese foreign office de- nunciation of Secretary Stimson's to-day denide charges attributed to Stimson that Japan intended to take all of Manchuria, and that the Japanese army in Manchuria was running amuck.
 In fact, the department said, Stimson had levelled no charges against the Tokio government.
 In 8 press conference yesterday, he expressed surprise on the basis of press reports, that Japan was advancing on Chinchow, because. he said, Japan had promised not to do so. This was the gist of his statement.
 Stimson said he had been given very definite assurances by Japan that her troops would not advance on that important railway town, He emphasized that he was not speaking on the basis of official dispatches.
 However, it was considered un- usual that he made his statement on the basis of an unofficial dis patch.
 He said that on Nov 23 he asked American Ambassador w. Garner on Forbes to tell Baron Shidehara, Japanese foreign minister, that he had read with great apprehension press reports that the Japanese army commanders were planning a military expedition against the forces of China in the neighbor- hood of Chinchow. Stimson told Forbes to say that he sincerely trusted there was no basis for the reports.
 On the following day, stimson said yesterday, he was assured by Shidehara (through Forbes) that he, the minister of war and the Japanese chief of stan were all agreed there should be no hostili- ties toward Chinchow, and that military orders to that effect had been issued.
 Tn light of that. stimson said. ii was difficult for him to understand a report of General Honjo, Jap anese commander in Manchuria announcing that Japanese soldiers marching southward, had reached Yangchuantze, 90 miles north of Chinchow, where they camped foi the night.
