Tokyo, Mar. 5.
General Chiang Kai-shek will be decapitated by the Japanese Army if captured, Mr. Koki Hirota, Japanese Foreign Minister, told the Diet here to-day. He said the Chinese leader would lose his head if his whereabouts became known to Japanese forces and they were able to capture him, Mr. Hirota told the Diet that he was not able to predict the probable duration of hostilities in China. He said he could not imagine any foreign power intervening on behalf of General Chiang Kai-shek's Government.—United Press.
