TOKIO, January 29.—The Japanese cruiser Tatsuta and four destroyers left the Sascbo naval base today for Shanghal with detachments of blue- jackets aboard Two additional cruisers and two air- | craft carriers were ordered to assemble at Sasebo, prepared to sail for Shanghai at a moment’s notice. ” Owing to official reports that 30,000 | Chinese oops were concentrating around the Woosung fort, at the mouth of the Whangpo River, Japanese au- thorities also considered sending troop reinforcements to Shanghai. The war office opposed any such move, how- ever, contending that unless the situa- ion became wc the navy would be able to handle it Police Prepare to Fight. In addition to the 30,000 Chinese in the Woosung region and along the rail- way leading to Shanghai, reports in official quarters indicated that 6,000 Chinese police of Shanghai apparently were preparing for action Reports of Chinese troop movements also indicated that Chiang Kai-Shek, former president of the Chinese Na- tional government, was preparing to send forces to Shanghai. In emphasizing the war office’s dis- approval of troop movements to Shang- hai, at least for the time being, au- thoritative quarters said that if Japa- nese’land forces were sent, the move- ment would be on a large scale and the League of Nations would be notified beforehand Encroachment Denied.

The statement, outlining the events which led to the occupation of Chinese sections of Shanghai, emphasized that the sole aim of the Japanese govern- ment is the protection of the lives and interests of its nationals, “similar to ef- fective measures taken in these localities by Great Britain and other powers in the past.” It was contended that Japan is con- tinuing a policy of the closest co-opera- tion with the great powers having interests the International Settle- in | ment and with the municipal authori- ties at Shanghai Today was regarded here as the criti- cal day in the Shanghai situation be- cause on the developments of the next 24 hours Japan's future course of ac- tion will be determined.

It was deemed necessary, however, by the British and American governments to make plain to the Tokio government that this time, both Great Britain and the United States were directly and vitally interested in the situation in Shanghai, and that any interference of the Japanese troops in the Inter- national Settlement would not be tol- erated.
