"It is, a matter of regret", the Japanese military spokesman said at the press conference yesterday morning, "that the British commander, acting on a one-sided observation, should have assumed a discourteous attitude towards the Commander-in-Chief of the Japanese forces.

"The British commander's action of protesting in writing to the Japanese Commander-in-Chief on the basi of an unverified assumption that the men involved were Japanese military, cannot be described in terms other than unfriendly", the spokesman continued.

"We would suggest that he should have adopted a course whereby he would have asked for an investiga tion first, before making the protest."
