NANK|NG PLACES
! BLAME ON JAPAN
"Conniving" of MiIitariSts
in Autonomy Move Is
ASsaiIed in Protest.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NANKING, November 29.-The
central Chinese government charged
the japanese army openly and directly
today with responsibility for the North
China autonomy movement in a
sharply-worded protest filed With
Japan by the foreign office.
This protest followed closely an
earlier note, submitted to the Japanese
embassy, protesting seizure by Japa-
nese troops Wednesday of the impor-
tant railway junction point of Feng-
tai, Just east Of Peiping in the area
agitated by self-rule demands.
The protests were interpreted by IN
formed sources to indicate definite
stiffening of the Nanking govern
ments attitude in the northern crisis
as result of outbursts Of Chinese
popular feeling against the autonomy
campaign.
Japanese COnnivance Alleged.
The later note asserted the seces-
sion movement was engineered by
"disgruntled elements. acting in con-
nivafce with japanese military off,
GERS" and requested an immediate
curb by the Toxic government on the
activities of the continental mihtaristS.
The notes were handed to Yorikichi
Surna, Japanese embassy counsellor
here. to be forwarded to Toxic.
The second note emphasized China'S
desire to settle the North China prob
lens through diplomatic channels and
insisted that the autonomy movement
did not represent popular desires.
The first protest asked complete
evacuation Of Fentai, where a few
japanese military observers remain
following the withdrawal Of the main
force.
Treaty Violation Charged.
-Four more japanese airplanes ar
rived in Tientsin today. The earlier
Chinese note charged that the Feng-
tai occupation, which accompanied
an influx of japanese armed forces
into the northern provinces amid agl-
tation for secession from the central
government, was a violation OF treaty
pledges.
Japanese officers asserted at the
time of the seizure of the Fengtai
depot that their troops were only
holding exercises" and that the oc-
cupation was part of mimic battle.
military spokesman at Peiping,
however, attributed the Fengtai cap
ture- to rumors that rolling stock on
the Peiping- -Mukden Railway was
moving south, jeopardizing North
China communications and threaten
ing to isolate Japan's Peiping forces.
This capital of China, meanwhile,
experienced an enemy air raid last
night-but without any of the dam
aging effects of such an attack.
1t was the first of the aerial de-
fense maneuvers designed to prepare
the populace for ANY eventualtieS.

TOXIC EVADEs QUERIES.
Western Diplomats Ask Stand on
Nine-POwer Treaty.

BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, November 29.-Eforts by
Western diplomats in Toxic to learn
the future Japan proposes for North
China, official sources said today, have
met a barrier Of Eastern evssiveness
which has only befogged the situation
further
Some Occidental diplomats, includ
ing representatives. of signatories of
the nine-power treaty guaranteeing
the sovereignty and territorial integ
rity Of China, official sources said, also
have tried to learn how the Japanese
government reconciled the North
China autonomy developments with
1ts treaty obligations.
All inquiries, it was learned, were
met either with denials of Japanese
responsibility for separatist move
ments, in which the power Of the
japanese Army admittedly has been
dominant, or with complicated for
mulas described by some authoritative
sources as impractical.
Britain Asks Showdown.
Such inquiries, it was disclosed,
were made November 81 by the Brit
ish charge d'affaires. A. F. H. Wig
gin, in an interview with Mamoru
Shigenitsu, vice minister for foreign
affairs.
London dispatches indicated Wig
gin, under instructions from his gov
ernment, asked what Japan intended
to be the outcome of the North China
autonomy movement.
Toxic officials declined to disclose
what occurred or to confirm the report
that the question of the nine-power
treaty arose. They admitted, however,
that Shigemitsu stated the Japanese
governments position.
A foreign Office spokesman presented
this stand as follows:
The North China autonomy move
ment is a purely Chinese affair, for
which Japan is not responsible. There
fore no question of the territorial or
administrative integrity Of China can
arise, and not the slightest question
of the nine-power treaty or Japan's
obligations under it can be involved"
Indignant Air Assumed.
Assuming an air of indignation, but
denying he referred to any particular
nation or individual, the spokesman
continued:
There are many reports from
China, some false-including many in
the japanese press-and some true.
When representatives of foreign ma
tions address to the Japanese gov
ernment inquiries concerning its po-
sition and intentions, such should be
based on genuine information"
It was understood Shigemitsu coun-
tered Virgins queries by alluding to
the activities of Sir Frederick Leith-
Ross, economic adviser to the British
government, who is now in China.
The Japanese vice minister, it was
reported, intimated that, while the
British government was making in
quiries based on false assumptions of
japanese interference in Chinese af-
fairs, Sir Frederick was guilty Of
similar offenSe because of his alleged
connection with Markings currency
reforms.
The American charge d'affaires, Ed
win L. Neville, has not made inquiries
similar to those Of Wiggin, it was
learned.
