NEW LANDING
MADE BY THE JAPANESE IN SOUTH CHINA ABOUT ONE HUNDRED MILES FROM INDO-CHINA. FOREIGN OFFICE STATEMENT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. TOKIO, November 15. Imperial headquarters announced that Japanese forces landed near Pakhoi, about 100 miles from French Indo-China and 300 miles west of HongKong. The Foreign Office simultaneously issued a statement that "in connection with the operation the Government will adhere strictly to the policy hitherto pursued toward third Powers.” The Hong Kong correspondent of the United Press states that according to Macao reports, the landing was effected at 9 a.m. It is officially announced in Hong Kong that Japanese naval forces co-operated. Large land forces landed without resistance and are at present advancing inland. The operation is apparently another step in the blockade of China. • The campaign in South China has been at a standstill since the fall of Canton in October, 1938.
