Discusses proposal "to settle Far East conflict amicably under Article VII of the Nine-Power Treaty. Reply holds, in reply to charge of aggression, that: lc Action in China is self-defense, by virtue of "China1s provocative acts appealing to force of arms; and consequently it lieso0«0outside of purview of Nine-Power Treatywn 2. League of Nations is taking sides, encouraging China to resist* 3. Evidence is that, in view of League resolutior on subject, which casts reflection of Japanesehonor the proposed conference is connected with the League. Therefore just solu- tion could not be expected at conference. 4. The present conflict is concern of the two powers involved5 participation of nations with varying interests in question could only complicate settlement. 5* Failure of Chinese government to cooperate in responsibility for stability of East Asia.

Main obstacle was China!s anti-foreign campaign, centered on Japan, which finally resulted in cases of attacks on Japanese subjects at Shanghai (Nov 1935), late* at Swatow, Chengtu, etc* This led to formation of anti-Japanese People's Front and the Lukouchiao Incident. Movements of Chinese troops made clash inevitable, This doomed to utter failure, "Japan's cautious attitude and her policy of local settlement." 2o At same time, Chinese in Shanghai "moved troops into prohibited zone," and killed two Japanese military, and on August 9, "launched an attack on the International Settle- ment," including the Japanese quarters, "while Japan still engaged in negotiationsQ" . o n 3i League of Nations, by resolutions of Sept. df and Oct 6,concte.aniHig Japan as violator of Nine-Power Treaty, ̂ based on false premises, encouraged China to resist cooperation. 4i "Japan's action is a measure of self-defense taken in the face of the Chinese challenge, and obviously there can be no question of violation of Nine-Power Treaty."

War Ministry Press Section Chief SATO, Kenryo, said the following during a conference of police bureau chiefs at the Home Office, Aug 25-Aug 29, 1938* The solution of the China Incident is very difficult. Japan's purpose was at first to punish China, but since China has not reconsidered her attitude, we must drive out the aid of Britain, U.S., and the U.S.S.R. and show China our real strength. Nov 1937 Germany told HIROTA that China would con- sent to make peace with Japan, but Japan had already refused Chinese terms and now stated terms of her own. (The terms are here stated.) China would not consent to these terms because they were too indefinite. Now that we know China is not sincere, the Japanese Army thinks it essential to destroy the Chungking gov't to bring about a new Chinese gov't, (p. 41-68) Section 7.
