credited to Toxic sources tina
Japan IS seeking to open direct
peace negotiations with General
issimo Chang Kai-shek we're cur
rent here today. No official Chinese
or japanese confirmation was avail
able.
Reports of japanese peace feelers
also were current last week in
Chungkmg, where Chinese Army
SpokeSmen SAID China, far from
contemplating peace. was preparing
for three more years Of war If
necessary.
The Toxic reports said the i'm
periaI conference. which includes
Japans highest military and pollti-
cal leaders, decided November l3 10
make overtures to Chiang.
In Shanghai a spokesman for
Ching wei, head Of the Japanese
sponsored Chinese national govern
ment" at Marking, said any Japa-
nese approach to Chiangs Chung
king government would be alto
gether surprising,' but added that
things happen so fast these days.
Unofficial Chinese recalled that
Prince Fumimaro konOye, Japans
premier, declared two years ago that
Japan desired no territory or in
demnlty from China and that she
would respect China's sovereignty.
But they said also that KonOye was
author of pledge that Japan would
beat China 10 her knees
The Toxic reports said that if
efforts to negotiate with Chang
failed to produce results before the
end Of November Japan would rec
ognize the Wang Ching-Wei regime
and continue the fight against
Chang, treating him as a rebel
against the recognized government
of China.
The japanese Army has with
drawn its forces from Kwangsi
Province and Southwestern KWang-
tung in recent weeks and in some
quarters it was suggested that these
moves were made to give China
face and thereby smooth the way
for peace talks. Informed persons
said, however, that the withdrawal
decision was taken some weeks be-
fore the reported decision to seek
peace.
