War-weary and discouraged, the Japanese admitted: 1) they might have to defer their drive on Hankow until autumn; 2) they might even discuss terms. Said Foreign Minister General Kazushige Ugaki: "If any serious changes should occur in the future, it may be necessary for the Japanese Government to reconsider its decision not to deal with the Chiang Kai-shek regime." Chinese Communists in Hankow exultantly issued a communique: "Who imagines that we Chinese troops are unable to rout the Japanese Fascist militarists...
