Recognize Wang

"Japan Times" Sets Out Six Reasons Why Regime Should Be Acknowledged Tokyo, Mar. 8.

Britain should recognize the new "Central Government" in China when it is established because it will comprise all the attributes Britain has demanded that the Chinese Government have, the "Japan Times" said in an editorial last night.

The newspaper outlined six points which Britain should recognize in Order to ameliorate situation in the Orient.

Firstly, the newspaper said, Britain should recognize the imminent realization of the establishment of the new "Government" under the leadership of Mr. Wang Ching-wei, head of the rump "Kuomintang."

Secondly, the new "Government" will be supported by a substantial group of Chinese, who must be taken as the representatives of the Chinese People in the absence of a ballot.
