Press. 1
The portion of Foreign Minister
Yoshizawa's statement referred to
above read as follows:
“We cannot pretend that this
suceinet treaty furnishes anything
like a complete guide to interna
tional dealings with China.
“The existing terms seemed
adequate when the treaty was
framed and terms seeming ade
quate today may be wholly inap
propriate six months hence. What
is wanted rather is a frank rec
ognition of the facts.
“The defect in the Washington
treaty, it seems to me, is that it
envisaged China not as it was but
as the powers thought it ought to
be. This has deprived that instru
ment of much of its value. To
face the facts is the first requi..
site of statesmanship.”
GERMANS LEAVE
SHANGHAL —(AP)—Germany's
diplomatic representatives here
evacuated their consalate Thurs
day night in the face of the pos
sibility that the Chinese army
would shell the Hongkew sector.
They were the first foreign
‘iplomats to withdraw following a
warning by Mayor Wu Teh-Chen
that the Hongkew sector was
dangerous for foreigners as long
as it continued to be used as a
Japanese military base.
REFUSE TO MOVE
SHANGHAL—(AP)—AIII Amer.
icans who reside at the Astor
House hotel, one of the land
marks of Shanghai facing Soo
chow creek, were cautioned
Thursday by American officials to
leave there and retire to a safer
location but most of .them had
declined to move up to late
Thursday.
The advice was given because
of the apparent danger from Chi.
nese shells which fell Wednesday
night near this spot as the artil
lery attempted to shell the Jap
anese flagship Idzumo anchored in
the Whangpoo.
American officials announced
they would soon make public a
plan for a general evacuation of
the city by American residents in
case this became necessary.
Queries already have been sent
to authorities at Manila inquiring
what facilities are available there
for Shangha’s' American residents.
QUT OF LINES
SHANGHAL— (AP) - Three
hundred grimy-faced, unshaven
and tired American soldiers of
the 31st Infantry came out of the
International settlen.ent defense

days in front of shell-torn Cha

Their eves were bloodshot and
swollen from lack of sleep, and
they made a concerted rush for
baths, shaves and then sleep.
For the next few days the boys
will figuratively hang up a “don't

The Americans were replaced
in the mosi dangerovs position

Scottish Argyll and Sutherland
