“HORSE TRADING”
JAPANESE ESTIMATES OF SOVIET AIMS FEARS OF RAPPROCHEMENT WITH GERMANY. WOULD MEAN FREE HAND IN EAST FOR RUSSIA. By Telegraph—Press association— Copyright. (Received This Day, 12.25 p.m.) LONDON. Juno 1. “The Times" Tokio correspondent says M. Molotov's speech surprised Government officials, who expected neither a rejection of the Anglo-French proposals nor any reference to the reopening of commercial negotiations with Germany. Unofficial sources suspect that M. Molotov’s moderation disguises "horse trading" for greater concessions. His minimum conditions admittedly would restrict the agreement to Europe, but officials point out that if the Soviet has reason io think its European frontiers are secure, it can play a more aggressive role in the Far East. Even that, prospect, however, is less disturbing that a Soviet-German rapprochement, the essence of which would lie a free hand for Russia in the Far East, in return for a free hand for Germany in Europe.
