AGAINST AMERICA
JAP. INDIGNATION RUSSIA AS BOGEY RAPPROCHEMENT HINTS DIVIDED TOKIO VIEWS (Elec. Tel, Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 4. 1 p.m.) NEW YORK, Nov. 3. A message from the Shanghai correspondent of the New York Times states that while the Japanese are feverishly Hurrying preparations for the installation of Wang Ching-Wei as head of a new central Government in China, the general Japanese indignation against America is steadily mounting, despite occasional appeasing statements.
In Tokio statesmen and high Japanese military figures in China declare: “America is driving us into the arms of Russia through the refusal to recognise the new order in East Asia.”
Obviously it is hoped that the dangers of a Russo-Japanese rapprochement will cause the United States Government to modify its stand. Japan’s army leaders are insistent that they prefer to meet Russia half-way instead of appeasing America. Only the naval and diplomatic classes prefer friendship with the democracies if such is obtainable, since they arc without delusions that Russia would for long permit Japan to retain her planned hold in China.
