JAPAN IN ASIA
RESTRICTIONS TO BE PLACED ON OTHER POWERS “MEASURES OF SELF-DEFENCE.” NINE-POWER TREATY TO BE SCRAPPED. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) TOKIO, December 19. The Foreign Minister, Mr Arita, told the foreign Press that Japan wished to establish a new order of co-operative co-ordination in East Asia, which necessarily would be a measure of selfdefence in face of world-wide Customs barriers. The activities of the other Powers therefore would be subject to restrictions necessary for the economic security of Japan, China and Manchukuo. The provisions of the Nine-Power Treaty were inapplicable under the present conditions and should be replaced by a new order. ACTION AT TIENTSIN. SUPPLIES FOR CONCESSIONS CUT OFF. (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) TIENTSIN, December 19. The Japanese military authorities at the weekend began stopping supplies of vegetables and meat for the British and French concessions, both of which are encircled by Japanese troops. SOVIET THREAT ALLEGED BY JAPANESE COMMANDER. CONCENTRATION ON BORDER OF MANCHUKUO. (Received This Day, 9.5 a.m.) TOKIO. December 19. The commander of the Japanese unit involved in the Changkufeng fighting alleges that Soviet troops are concentrating at the Manchukuo border.
