Nanking, June 4.
Positive propaganda methods, in order to induce military officials and civilians now under the Chungking banner to join the peace camp of President Wang Ching-wei of the Nanking government, were urged by Major-General Yuitsu Tsuchihashi, of the headquarters of the Japanese Expeditionary Forces to China, during yesterday's third session of the Propaganda Conference of the Nanking government now meeting here.
Maj.fGen. Tsuchihashi called attention to the fact that various false rumours have been spread abroad at various times including an alleged crisis in the Far East in February, an alleged agreement between Japan and the United States in May, and alleged direct negotiations between Japan and Chungking.
Chungking, the officer pointed out, appears to be regarding propaganda as more important in the war with Japan than actual fighting operations. and it is hence necessary that a more positive attitude be taken in propaganda efforts to bring military offials and civilians of the Chungking camp under the standard of the Nanking Government.—Domei,
