certcd measures for defense which included tho allotment of ono sec tor to Japanese forces were the outcome of Il situation rapidly growing worse. The tension be- tween Japanese and Chinese in Shanghai in the presence of over whclmin9 Chinese forces outside the city sadly resulted in a ere sccndo of riots and atrocities, and Japancse went about in treror of their lives.
 IL must be clearly understo ood that there are two cities in Shan hal. the International settlement internationally governed. and the Chinese municipality. The inter- | national authorities in order to | restore order and security, took the concerted measures alluded to above. and on tho twcnty-eighth of January proclaimed a state of | Bcigc.
 The Chinese city presented il | more difficult situation, but on the twenty-cighth, the mayor gave definite hBsuranccs for the future to the JaphneBe cOnsul-gonerhl which were regarded as satiBfac- tory.
 It was in the early hours of the twenty ninth that despite these as- Burnnccy Japanese marines were without any pr0v0cation attacked | in force.
 Strict instructions had been is- sued to the Japanese authorities. civil, naval and military, to limit to n minimum the necessary mehsures of self-dcfencc. and cooperate with the consular md naval nu- thoriticH of the other powers in nll possible ways for the protection of important interests of foreign residents in Shanghai. So that, If nlI parties interested refrain from panic there is every prospect of the conflicts being localized and brought to n prompt termination. nm glad to have this oppor- tunity of making known tho csaen- tial and undeninbIc facts. The whole problem presents enormous difficulties which demand for their solution forbcnrnnce and fairness through the comprehension of the basic details by hlf concerned.
 The boycott continues universal throughout China. enforced by ter rorists and exercised by tho party in control with tho counteDancc and tacit encouragement of the 1 government. It cannot Do called q spontaneous, popular movement and Japan feels it is contrary to her treaty on commerce which | stipulatcs for freedom of trade: and contrary also 10 peaceful friendly relations. It is driving thousands of Japhnes out of busi- ncs sand out of China.
 Japan infinitely deplores these occurrences which have been forced on her by Chinese milithr- ism and military violence. She already has lost precious lives in Shanghai and Mnnchurin. I nm sure Il candid examination Of the facts will convince anyone that it the Shanghai case her forces could not have acted otherwise than they did with due regard to their inter- national duty.
 Approaching sincerely tn, American devotion to the cause ol peace, | nm certain the American and European publics with tbeii weli-kn0wn sense of fairness VII recognize that peace has not peer endangered by tho acts of Japan but by the inconsidernfe precipi' tancy of tho armies of China.
