(Received 11, 9.50 a.m.) LONDON, Oct. 10.. In the course of an interview with the British United Press correspondent at Tokio, Ihe Prime Minister, Prince Konoye, said: "Because fighting is going on in China, people abroad think it paradoxical to hear that our objectives are peace and co-opcration; ncvertbeless, such is the case., "The aim of our operations is neither to gain terrilory nor to dismember China. Hence, it is clear that our forces are not in China to stay. "Our condition fOr withdrawal,-' he added, "is China's abandonment of her m^staken policies. ' ' I regret that there has been so much misunderstanding abroad. Apparently there is a fear that foreign rights and interests are endangered. That is the last thing in the minds of the Japanese Government."
