BASIS OF PACT
MUTUAL RECOGNITION
U.S. CAN HAVE QUID PRO QUO
WAR OTHERWISE
TOKIO, October 6.
The Premier, Prince Konoye, in an interview at Kyoto, said the question of war or peace in the Pacific depends on "whether the United States and Japan respect and understand each other's position." He added that the alliance with the Axis was based on such mutual i-ecogni« tion and that the United States could have the same as a quid pro quo. However, no overtures to America concerning this had been planned. "Should the United States refuse and persist in regarding the alliance as a hostile act, there will be no other course than war," Prince Kor.o'ye said.
