Chiang Kai-shek says US obligated to support China
Nanking dispatch reports Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek told American correspondents that the United States is obligated by treaties to support China's struggle against Japanese aggression. Madame Chiang translated, praising protests against Japanese bombardments and urging stronger measures to end civilian slaughter. Chiang argued US obligations stem from the Washington conference, the nine power pact, and the League covenant, insisting the US and other signatories must back China. In Peiping, Japanese forces sealed Pantingfu with an ultimatum, threatening annihilation unless Chinese forces surrender.
