Tokyo, Mar. 8.
Negotiations for the redemption and the payment of interest on uhinese railway bonds should be conducted by tne government of China, Mr. Shinrokuro Hidaka, director or the Economic Bureau of the Asia Development Board, declared in the Lower House today.
Interpellations- on the subject of China's railways, most of which now are within Japanese-controlled terri-lory, were made by two members of the Minstito, the majority party.
The operation of Chinese railways in areas within Japanese control, Mr. Hidaka said, was in the hands of companies organized for the purpose. Japan, he continued, had invested materials as well as money in those companies, while Chinese capital had also been provided.
"The railways themselves, however," the Asia Development Board spokesman went on, "have not been included in these investments."
