. TOKYO, July 29—(AP) — The‘ lJapaiicsc Government will rejectl Sllllllliarily any ‘interference’ b_v another power in Japan's conflict with China, Foreign Minister Koki Hirota. told parliament today. Replying to a questioner in the House of Representatives, l-lirota said he hoped no other nation would attempt to intervene. Oflicial sources disclosed that in view of the ominous turn of ev- ents at Tientsin, where Japanese and Chinese troops fought bitterly all day and Japanese war planes bombed the city, large reinforce- ments are bcliig dispatched to North Chitin from Japan proper. Hitherto only small units are believed to have gnno’ to China from the Japanese homeland. General Gen Sugiyama. the war minister, told parliament "Japan is prepared to meet all possibil- ities.” He declared it would be "easy to clear Chinese troops from the Peiping and Tientsin areas. but what is far more important is the clash with the Central Chi- nese Army which may follow." ‘The war ministers statement was interpreted to mean that the Japanese Army has unpublished information regarding movements of the Nanking Government's troops toward the northern zoneof conflict.
