SOVIET AND JAPAN
NO CLOSE ASSOCIATION ADVTCE TO THE ALLIES (Klee. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Sept, 22, 10 a.m.) WASHINGTON, Sept. 21. The new Japanese Ambassador to Washington, Mr. Kensuke Horinouchi, in a statement, said that the RussoJapanese agreement ending the border warfare was not consummated through Germany’s good offices, and should not be regarded as a preliminary to a non-aggression pact, or any ’ move for close association between the Soviet and Japan. He added that Japan had given friendly advice to England and France to withdraw their troops from China lest Japan was involved in the European war. Japan's policy was to avoid an entanglement and to concentrate on a settlement of the “China affair.”
