The-Japanese air force in China has consistently made Chinese troops and military establishments their objectives of attack, says a statement issued by the dapatese Embassy in London, "It is to be greatly regretted," it adds, "that many civilian casualties should have occurred, In view of these unfortunate incidents, the Japanese air force has again been strictly instructed to take every precaution to avoid the destruction of life and property of civilians."
The statement complains of "wildly exaggerated reports," for example, the report that 3,000 persons were killed in the air raid on Canton on September 23, and gives a list of the establishments which, it declares, were the objectives of the air attacks on Nanking, Canton and Hankow, As Japanese submarines are strictly forbidden to attack merchantmen, junks, ce, te statement adds, and as no Japanese submarine is operating in the locality, it is absolutely impossible that any attack such as is alleged to have occurred near Hongkong on September 22 could ever have been made,—Reuter.
