China Defense Official
Retracts Charge Of
Jap Law Violation
BY the Associated Press

TOKYO, July 23.-China's vice
minister of national defense backed
down today at Tokyo's big war
crimes trial from his testimony that
Japan violated international law
when her troops maneuvered in
Peiping's outskirts on the historic
night of July 7, 1887.
Japan has claimed that the ma
neuvers were interrupted by shots
precipitating the Marco Polo bridge
incident which sent Japan and
China to war.
Gen. Chin Teh-chun admitted he
was in error after the defense for
~ accused japanese war criminals
established that Boxer protocol of
1901 gave foreign garrisons the right
to maneuver and rifle practice with
out notifying the Chinese govern
ment."
Local Agreement Cited.
Gen. Chin conditioned his retrac-
ton by saying there was a local
agreement between Chinese and
Japanese commanders.
why did you advise your subor-
dinates that night that the japanese
were violating international treaty?"
asked Defense Attorney 1t. Col
Franklin Warren of Tucumcari,
N. Mex.
Il told them that because the Jap
anese did not keep their promise tc
notify of maneuvers in advance
Gen. Chin replied. Maybe I did not
have reference to the literal inter-
probation of international law"
What made you believe that an
agreement between two battalion
commanders or whatever they were
"a sort of gentlemens agreement
could broach international law?"
Mr.. Warren pressed.
The agreement was made because
the japanese maneuvers were SO
intensive, with real gunflre, and
residents might be injured and be-
come violent" Gen. Chin explained.
The agreement between COM
manders was not contrary to the
spirit of international law"
Mr.. Warren pleaded to the court

representing these employees in
negotiations with Zone authorities
to raise their wages.

by Government officials regarding
UPWA's organizing drives in these
territories. The union has been
classified by many as a left-wing
