(Received 30, 10.40 a.m.) TOKIO, Sept. 29. The Foreign Office spokesman deelares that the Japanese iiatioii is most indignant at the condemnation of Japan as exprcssed by the League Assembly. "The condemnation," the spokesman asserts, "is based on the insupportable accusations of China, which is a pasfc master in broadcasting blood-curdiing stories. Japan declines to be judged by such falsities. "Nanking and Canton are both military centres, and the Chinese have boasted of the efiiciency of their air defences. Therefore, they are not undefended." The spokesman admitted that the Japanese would continue to attack only military objectives, but denied that any attacks had been made on fishing junks. The warships had been forbidden to interfere with them. A Japanese submarine was not operating in the neighbourhood of Cheelongkau. The spokesman. added:-— "Unjust criticism . will not deter Japan from taking every necessary step to destroy the adversary's fighting power."
