The spokesman branded Britain with being responsible for the Tientsin situation, saying that Britain's continued extension of assistance to Chungking agents resulted in the army authorities resorting to the only possible steps to prevent the continuation of such assistance.
"The cases are too many to mention'in which the British have deliberately assisted agents of Chungking in order to disturb local peace and economic conditions in north China, all for the benefit of Japan's enemy. Japan's patience has been tried to the limit and finally has become exhausted," the spokesman said.—United Press.
