JAPANESE AIMS
DEFENCE OF THE INVASION OF CHINA ANSWER TO AMERICAN AMBASSADOR. “OBJECTIVE UNDERSTANDING SOUGHT. By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright. (Received This Day, 11.30 a.m.) TOKIO, November 2. The Institute of the Pacific, the membership of which comprises prominent Japanese, in a statement ostensibly answering Mr J. C. Grew (American Ambassador) who denounced Japanese policy in China, says the United States desires the kind of peace in China “which is not only undesirable, but impossible to maintain. The first prerequisite of a fair objective understanding is that. there must be recognition that hostilities on a large scale are now m progress in China . . . The United States is attempting to perpetuate a system which ignores the desire of all people in the world to develop by fairly sharing all the fruits and opportunities offered by mother earth. We cannot but note the glaring omission of the word justice from the Ambassador’s eloquent plea for peace.”
