"QUITE NEUTRAL"
JAPAN AND WAR IN EUROPE
SIMPLE COURSE FOR BRITAIN
TOKIO, October 2,
"So far as the European war is concerned, Japan remains quite neutral, despite the conclusion of the tripartite pact/ the Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Y. Suma, declared at today's Press conference.
Mr. Suma added: "The pact has simplified rather than complicated Japan's relations with Britain, because it leaves Britain only one course in dealing with Japan, namely, recognition of the new order in this part of the world, while any country against the new order will be regarded as refusing co-operation with Japan."
Mr. Suma stressed that Japan had never abandoned hopes of a readjustment of relations with Britain.
The Domei news agency's London correspondent says that after the signing of the three-Power pact Japanese firms and banks in Britain are winding up their businesses in preparation for evacuation.
