ALL NORTH CHINA
HELD BY JAP AN;
WAR SEEN NEAR
Troops Stage Pageant
Entering Shanghai
BY JOHN GoETTE

by JOkAIN OOGA IL
PEIPING, Aug. 9 QN.SO.
North China - an area greater
than CzechoSlovakia - today was
in japanese hands; buffer state
against Soviet Russia existed, and
China and Japan were on the
verge of modern history's great
est Oriental war.
Occupation of ancient Pelplng,
accompanied by Japanese procla-
nations amounting to severance
of the five northern provinces
from the remainder of China, was
followed by a breakdown in peace
negotiations.
Troops Pour Into Area
Ambassador Shigeru Kawagoe,
of Japan, who had gone to
troubled Tientsin to discuss the
crisis with Chinese leaders, re-
turned to Shanghai as several
hundred thousand Chinese troops
continued by train to converge
on the Peiping- Tientsin area.
The possibility that Ambassador
Kawagoe might return to Tientsin
to reopen negotiations was held
out by a spokesman for the cen
trail Chinese government at Nan
king. but, he added:
THE issue of peace and war
will have to be determined al
most Immediately.
1T is still not too late to
avoid a disastrous conflict. if
Japan makes a great effort.
Failing that, there is hardly a
hope for peace left"
Control Peiping
For the first time in 81 years
the last occasion followed the
Boxer Rebellion, in which the
United States took part-allenS
today were in control Of Peiping.
The next step, Chinese felt.
would be a Japense move to set up
autonomous" Chinese regimes,
consolidating those already exist
ing, under japanese influences, in
Hopei-Chahar and East Hopei, and
extending them to other provinces
Of North China.
Showmanship and propaganda
marked the dramatic occupation
Of Peiping by the Japanese.
Through three gates and down
the main streets to the blare Of
trumpets and the "banzais!" Of
japanese and Koreans moved
5000 Japanese troops. First they
staged an impressive review before
Gen. Torashino Kawabe, then
deployed throughout the city.
Planes Drop Leaflets
Chinese impasSively watched the
demonstration, lining the streets
in thousands.
AS the military paraded
through the boulevards, airplaneS
dropped leaflets practically pro-
claiming Japanese domination Of
the area stretching from the sea
to the borders of Mongolia, along
the Great Wall south of Man
chukuo.
North China has been re-
turned to the North Chinese!"
said the pamphlets. THE jap
aneSe army has driven out your
evil rulers, and will keep them
out"
Bulletins posted in the streets
told the citizens that they would
be safe so long as they do not
''molest" the Japanese army.

Certainly such referendum
