Japan Closing

Gaimusho Says Treatment Has Always Been Proper

Considerate Tokyo, June 7.

Considerate treatment given by the Japanese Government to the Chinese Embassy here is: "without precedent in the diplomatic annals of the world," a spokesman for the Gaimusho said today.

The statement was made in connection with a communication. informing the Government of the departure of Mr. Y. C. Yang, Chinese Charge d'Affaires here, and his staff for China on June 11.

The Japanese Government, the spokesman said, has been extending to the members of the Chin Fmbassy here the same diplomatic privileges as are given to other foreign representatives.

This treatment, he pointed out was unaffected by the current Sino-Japanese hostilities, nor by the Government's announcement on January 16 that it would no longer deal with the Nationalist administration.
