After referring to the incorporation of the Communist troops under Generals Chu Teh and Mao Tze-tung into ihe Chinese regular army and, the appointment of Communist representatives to responsible posts in the Chinese Government, General Araki asserts that, such being the case, it cannot be imagined that the "China incident" can be settled through a mere uóderstanding between China heavily -bombed the aerodrome.
