FACING A CRISIS
POTENTIAL ENEMIES Rec. 7.5 p.m. Kobe, Sept. 15. The Minister of War, General S. Araki, addressing a meeting of the War Council, stated: "Japan faces a crisis at home an-d abroad. Our -withdrawal frotn the League of Nations reduces us to virtual isolation and this, synchronising with the forthcoming Washingfon Conference, increases the danger. "China is nursing a grudge. She has submitted at present, but she is waiting for an opportunity. Meanwhile, Sino-American friendship is increasing alarmingly and Ameriean infiuence is securing concessions in regard to communications and aviation. "The Soviet is menacing and increasing its border forces, concentrating 300 'planes, including many bombers at Vladivostock." Reverting to the United States, General Araki said that the transfer of the fleet to the Pacific in case hostilities broke out with Russia might be expected. This would render the United States a potential enemy like Italy in the Great War.
