Thirty-two Americans Refuse io Evacuate Devastated Capitol
SHANGHAI. Monday, Nov. 3—(UP) -Thirty-two Americans in Nanking today refused to be evacuated from China’s devastated former central capital despite danger of a Japanese attack and street fighting which would endanger their lives.
Secretaries of the U. S. embassy vainly urged the group, including missionaries, newspaper men, and news reel cameramen, to board the gunboat Panay of the Yangtse river patrol which was lying off the city ready to sail for Hankow.
LOOTING FEARED
They feared a repetition of the looting of the city and attacks by disorganized Chinese soldiery such as occurred in 1927 when Commun-i 1st troops of the Chinese Nationalist army sacked the American consulate and killed a number of occidentals.
There was an increasing belief that the Japanese soon might announce a formal declaration of war to regularize the naval blockade of China’s coast and convince Chinese Generalissimo Chiang Kai-Shek that further resistance will result only in increasingly difficult peace terms.
ITALY RECOGNIZES
In Rome the Italian foreign office formally announced that Italy has granted recognition to Man-chukuo, which was created by the Japanese army in the Chinese-Japanese wars of 1931-33, and shortly will open a legation in Hsinking the Manchukuoan capital. Italy was the third nation to recognize the new state—following Japan and San Salvador. The move was seen as tightening Italian-Japanese collaboration and assuring Tokyo of strong support from Rome in event the new Russian-Japanese war, which the Far East expects, should develop.
The Japanese army, heartened by radio broadcasts announcing Italy’s diplomatic recognition of Manchu-kuo. drove across the flat plaihs of Kiangsi province and deep into Anhwei province today in an effort to occupy Nanking. China’s partly abandoned national capital, within a fortnight.
