Nanking, Mar. 21.
"Germany and Italy are the Powers friendly to China, while Britain, France and the Soviet Union are her public enemies' and if and when Japan reopens the Yangtze River to navigation, priority should be given to friendly Powers in marked discrimination against public enemy' countries," a spokesman of the "Reformed Government" stated here today.
"By declaring the Powers assisting Gen. Chiang Kai-shek's regime to be the public enemies of China in a statement issued on February 25 the 'Reformed Government' called upon these Powers to reflect upon their attitude. At the same time it clearly pointed out the principles with which the 'Reformed Government' will dear with them.
"We noticed with regrets, however, that Britain and. France have not rectified their attitude.
"We are in receipt of information that France is continuing to supply materials and munitions through French Indo-China, while Britain extended a £10,000,000 loan to the Chungking Government.
"Thus the actions of Britain and France have hampered the realization of our great hope for peace for the sake of China's national salvation. Therefore, we declare that Britain and France, conspiring with Gen. Chiang, are the very countries which are subjecting the millions of Chinese people to hellish agonies, which are growing ever more acute by the protraction of hostilities.
