ANTI-RED PACT
TOKIO INDICATION CHINA GARRISONS CONTACT WITH SOVIET FRONTIER COMMISSION (Kloi’. Tol. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Nov. 23, !) a.m.) TOKIO, Nov. 22. The first specific indication that the Japanese Government considers relations with the anti-Comintern Pact are dead, was given by the Prime Minister, General Abe, in an unusually frank interview.
He said that Japan was maintaining the garrisons in China in accordance with the pact, but would conclude her pact with the new regime in China, making the garrisoning entirely unrelated to the European Pact and dispensing with the technicality justifying garrisons by reference to the anti-Comintern Pact.
He added that North China and Inner Mongolia would be placed in special relationship with Japan and Manchuluio after the proclamation of the Wang Ching-Wei Government.
Pressure from the United States would not deter the early launching of the regime. The Japanese must not expect an early end to the conflict which thusfar had cost over 10,000.000,000 yen. He added that Japan was attempting to compose all differences with Russia. A commission was meeting at Chita. Siberia, on November 29 to delimit the borders of Manchuluio and Outer Mongolia.
