‘jin this, the greatest problem facing the country torlsw, we are of necessity tally interested, be- cause a large percentage of these enforced nomads face the proposl-3 tion that they must beg, steel or starve, the Chief said. “It is notl fair they ehould be placed in this‘ demorslizin , or should I say l;er- . rifying pos tlon. but nevertheless most of them are.

"I naturally do not approve of stealing but if I had to make my choice between it and starvation.

British s (Including Prime Minister Chumberlnln in London) insisted that only local ls- sucs connected with the Japan Arm 's 15-dsy-old blockade of the Brit in and French concession at Tlentsln be considered.

But Japanese. especially military leaders, indicated that demands for Britain's “coopere.tlon" in Jup- an‘s program for 3 “new order n East Asia," especially its econo- mic phases, would figure vitally in the negotiations.

Will Attend Talks It was‘ believed the talks, with

Hschiro Arita. and the British Ambsmador, Sir

ors, would begin before the week- end. A Japanese Vice-Consul pre- pared to fly here tomorrow and a British Consui- was expected soon after from Tientsln. Molar G. A. Herbert, Consul at Tlen sln,d ‘air- renged _ go__to J_a._ is our e British - estroyei"i:t)eac%§. =1‘.-"~-‘~ ~-

Statements of Japanese military men indicated that 9. major Jap- anese objective would be to com- pel Britain to agree to end her financial aid to the Chinese Gov- ernment at Chungking.

The official Japanese announce- ment of the parley was:

“In response to 8. British propos- al the Japanese Government have decided to conduct negotiations in Tokyo with 9. view to solving vari- ous questions relating to the pres- ent situation at Tientsln. Japan- ese offlciuls concerned in Tientsin will be summoned to Tokyo for the purpose."

He said the present siliustion was very similar to that of last. Septem- ber, which ended with the Munich Agreement, but with the difference that “this year no means of retreat, lire open.”

Later in his speech he said “I wish I could convince Herr Hitler of the fact flint the British nat- ion. and surely also the British Em- pire, have reached the limit, of their Patience. We have receded and acquiesced time after time in breaches of solemn promises and treaties.
