I sincerely regret the series of terroristic acts which have occurred in the Japanese policing area, but the Japanese authorities are studying counter-measures to combat them, Rear-Admiral Seiji Takeda, Commander of the Japanese Special Naval Landing Party, declared in a press interview, the "Shanghai Mainichi" reported yesterday.
Our hearty thanks are extended to the Shanghai Japanese Residents Corporation, the Japanese Youth: Corps and the Amalgamated Federation of Japanese Street Unions, for their ce-operation by the organizing of a self-defence corps. The most important thing for Japanese residents is that they should be well trained to meet such contingencies.
We want to obtain immediately information when such emergencies break out and it is sincerely hoped that Japanese residents will cooperate with us, not only during an occurrence of terrorism but also in general policing, Rear-Admiral Takeda concluded.
