The daily declared that the reason for United States avoidance of a deterioration of Japanese-American relations was nothing more than a desire el the part of America to make aid to Britain as effective as possible. "As long as the United States maintains such an attitude, it is impossible to effect genuine peace between Japa and America," the "Nichi-Nichi declared.
Asserting that the United States, in siding Chungking, had merely prolonged and increased the miseries of the Chinese people, the "Nichi-Nichi" concluded. "America should -re-examine the Far Eastern situation from a broad viewpoint to establish lasting peace in the Pacific and to strive to form logical and realistic decisions."
Meanwhile, the "Chugai Shogyo Shimpo," leading financial daily. warned, that America and Britain would continue aiding Chungking. "not because they are anxious to save Chungking, but because they want to wear out Japan."
paper added that the probable fect of the German-Soviet hostilities Kidnappers struck again yesterday morning when they abducted Dr. Zee Liang-tong. a well-known Chinese physician, from outside the International Funeral Directors in Kiaochow Road. The crime, which was believed to have been well planned by the gangsters, was reported to the police shortly before 11 am.
The victim, it was learned. was on his way home in Sinza Road at about 10.35 am. and was passing the funeral parlours when four men, all armed with pistols, held up his car and forced the chauffeur out of the vehicle.
One of the gangsters then took the wheel, but all efforts to restart the motor failed. The kidnappers then got their victim out of the car. A passing Ford hire car solved their problem. as they stopped the taxi, pushed Dr. Zee-in, and drove away with their victim.
No motive for the crime could be ascertained yesterday, although it was said' that the victim was not known to be affiliated with any political organization here. Ransom, it was believed, could be the answer, for the physician is known to be fairly well off.
