England, France and Italy have no
intention of permitting Japan to grab
all the loot in China. The dispatch
states:
in fact, in frank discussions of
the present situation, individuals
Of prime Importance in Japanese
circles at Shanghai admit without
reservation that Japan, her patti
ence with China exhausted, has
embarked upon a definite policy
of shattering what is known as
China into regional weak areas.
These spokesman no longer make
a secret of the fact tina. Japans
next field of operations probably
will be in the Canl1-- SwatoR area,
to be quickly followed by aggres-
sive tactics around Peiping and
TientSin. The Japanese think
Tsingtao, in Shantung, will fall in
to their lap like a ripe plum"

The line laid down in the secret Ia
naka document presented to the Jap
anese Emperor in 1927 by the then
Japanese premier, M. Tanaka. This
document clearly expressed the fear

clares: H....
"A more dangerous factor is the
fact that the Chinese people may
wake up one fine day., When
we remember that the Chinese are
cur only purchasers, we must fear
that day when China unites and
her industry begins to flourish,
We must from now onWards pursue
our own military ends and seize
the heart Of Manchuria and Mon
golia by divers ways, in order to
be able on the one hand to des-
troy the military, political and eco
nomic development Of China"

never. In this, the United States
British ard French iInperialist
wholeheartedly agree although hav'
