The landing of the Japanese troops at Lungkow and their presence Weihsien, supplemented by reports of various other incidents, constitute an irrefutable proof of their recent violation of China's neutrality. Our feeling is deeply hurt and we have not much to say. We will, however, ask a last question, wheth-your Government still respects and observes the neutrality of China which it has recognized before? The fate of China's neutrality is now as frail as a hair, and for the support of it, the nation who loves peace and respects International Law will doubtless take what action it deems meet. We are in a desperate condition. We beg jointly to address this telegram first; permit us to forward you a letter with fuller particulars.
October 10, The Anniversary Day of the Revolution happens on October 10, the Chinese term it the " Double Ten Festival," that is the 10th day of the 10th moon of the year. The day is observed as a general national holiday. But in view of the continuous raging of the European war, the Ministry of Foreign Intercourse has instructed the Chinese officials not to hold any reception or give any feast on that day, as a mark of China's sympathy.
