TIENTSIN, October 14.-In an in
terview today Yosuke Matsuoka, Amer
ican-educated president of the South
Manchuria Railway Co., disclosed
Japan seeks control OF the whole OF
China to prevent it from falling prey
to Soviet Russia and Communism.
The japanese Army, he said, intends
to occupy Marking, the Chinese capi-
tai. Matsuoka explained Japan's po-
litical and economic plans in North
China had been delayed pending the
clearing up of the Shanghai situation,
as fundamental solution in the North
was impossible until the Chinese troops
were defeated and Nanking occupied.
Eighty per cent of the Chinese eco
nomic and political leadership. he said
is concentrated around Shanghai,
while the coastal zone and northern
provinces constitute 80 per cent OF
China.
Great Aim to Save China.
If the 10 per cent chooses to go
Communist. let it, Matsuoka said. 1T
is better for Japan to hold the 80 per
cent than lose the whole of China and
permit the country to 60 over to the
Soviet. The greatest aim Of Japan is
to save China from communism and
the Kuomintang (the dominant ma
tionalist political party)."
The japanese. he declared, were un-
able to achieve their aims in China by
counter propaganda and we're forced.
therefore, to employ their strongest
weapon, namely, the army.
Matsuoka asserted that every nation
rightfully used its strongest weapons
to combat its opponents, and the
Japanese were unequal to others in
propaganda and intrigue
Benevolence, Sacrifice Urged.
Asked If a strong anti -Kuomintang
government at Marking and an inde-
pendent North China administration
at Peiping were considered necessary,
Matsuoka replied the question was I'M
answerable academically.

anti-Kuomintang government to re-
