JAPAN INDICTED
WAGING GERM WARFARE DECLARATION BY CHINESE SPOKESMAN. INDIVIDUAL AND STATE RESPONSIBILITY. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day, 10.15 a.m.) CHUNGKING, March 31. A Chinese Government spokesman, at a Press conference, accused Japan of waging germ warfare. Full information on the subject will be transmitted formally to the United Nations governments. Investigation by noted foreign and Chinese medical experts, the spokesman said, had established that a Japanese plane on November 3 dropped infected material at Changteh in the Honan Province, which caused the death of six persons by bubonic plague. The findings have been unanimous. When the day of reckoning comes, the United Nations should give effect to the principle of the individual criminal responsibility of those officers who ordered it and the men who carried out such inhuman methods of warfare, as well as State responsibility.
