SHANGHAI INCIDENTS
LACK OF PROTECTION ALLEGED HOOLIGANISM NEW YORK, Oct. 20. The Shanghai correspondent of the United Press states that the killing of the Chinese policeman and the wounding of a Sikh colleague on a road outside the settlement resulted in a warning to the British Secretary, General Phillips, from the Municipal Council that it would withdraw police protection on outside road due to “uncontrolled hooliganism” in Japanese directed Chinese city. The American chairman of the council, Mr. Franklin, announced that, if necessary, he would ask United States marines to protect American residents and property on outside roads. -
The incident again becomes a highlight in the dispute between the council and Japan.
The Chungking correspondent of the Associated Press of Great Britain says that the Chinese Government spokesman flatly denied the Russian demands for concessions from China and also declared to be groundless the Japanese assertions that British and American diplomats are urging China to halt hostilities.
A Tokio correspondent says that rumours of new Mongolian border tension have been circulated. The army spokesman said that the negotiations with Russia were continuing.
