WANTON BOMBING
DESTRUCTION OF MISSION HOSPITAL PROTEST MADE TO JAPAN. INTERFERENCE WITH TRADE ALSO QUESTIONED. (British Official Wireless.) RUGBY, March 13. The British Ambassador in Tokio, Sir Robert Craigie, has made representations to Tokio regarding the bombing by the Japanese of Sian, involving the wanton destruction of an English Baptist mission hospital there. The right to claim compensation has been reserved. Sir Robert Craigie is also making representations to Japan regarding the announcement by the so-called “Provisional Government of the Republic of China” that, as from March 11, the export of 12 specified commodities, which together account for a high proportion of the export trade of North China, will not be permitted unless foreign exchange proceeds are sold against the Federal Reserve Bank.
The representations are being made on the ground that interference is likely to be caused to legitimate British trade interests.
