Japanese Demand
Shipping Cease

Continued From Page ID
Japanese airplane pilots Similar
demands were refused recently.
The new japanese demands, made
in a note to foreign authorities,
asked that all foreign warShipS at
once get out of the zone between
Hwangshihkang, 60 miles east OF
HankoW, and Kiukiang, 80 miles
farther down the river.
1t was reported here that there
was one United States gunboat at
Kiukiang, and that British gun
boat also was there.
AS for the Yangtze generally, the
note asserted that it was closed,
by Japanese order, to all foreign
shipping above Wuhu, which is GO
miles up-river from Nanking, until
such time as the japanese navy
decided that it was safe for foreign
ships to proceed.
Explaining its renewal of the de-
mand that foreign WarShips be
painted in bright colors, and in
addition fly streamers, the Japa-
nese navy expressed regret at the
previous refusal of foreign navy
commanders to comply with the
Japanese request. 1t said that ex-
perience had shown that japanese
pilots we're unable to distinguish
the flags painted on awnings of
foreign ships without descending
low enough to be endangered by
