Funeral arrangements pending advice of relatives in Manila. i The Japanese authorities have again drawn attention to the position of Nantao and suggest that, as that area is being used for military activities it may have to receive further visits rom the air. This warning deserves consideration. Any thought of aerial action over populous city is highly disturbing and particularly when so exposed a situation as that of Nantao is in question, hardened though Shanghai by this time is to the implications of modern warfare. The Japanese statement has been admittedly made in the interests of humanitarian principles. It has been expressly asserted by the Japanese authorities that they do not desire to involve civilians in the horrors of war from the air. It might be desirable for the Chinese officials who are responsible for Nantao's security to examine the possibility of giving the Japanese such assurances as would completely establish what it is understood is the Chinese contention that Nantao is not being used for military purposes. Prompt action of that kind would have the advantage of ministering to the Japanese desire to avoid doing harm to civilians; if that result was not achieved it would at least show that the responsible Chinese authorities had taken appropriate measures to remove all excuse for bombing a highly congested urban area. are now working as usual
