The Chargé in China ( Vincent ) to the Secretary of State
[Received March 20—10:19 a.m.]
409. Ta Kung Pao editorially comments that Japanese rendition of concessions to Nanking puppet régime is smoke screen in war of thoughts against Chinese people in occupied areas; that Japan aims at false independence for puppets in order to bewilder Chinese people for further economic exploitation through puppet régime; that Japan no longer needs concessions since all occupied China is under her control and that signing of agreement at Nanking by Tojo for return of concessions is but another expression of Japanese policy in China aiming at complete control of continent through puppets.
