DIPLOMATIC PURGE
SIGNIFICANT JAPANESE
ACTION LIBERAL & ABLE MEN DISPLACED. EXTREMISTS IN CONTROL. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) (Received This Day. 1.0 p.m.) LONDON. August 23. “The Times” Tokio correspondent says the wholesale recall of Japanese diplomatists purges the service of many of its more liberal and more able elements. Less impetuous than their home critics, they were always a thorn in the flesh of the extremists.
Although the Foreign Office spokesman emphasised that neither personal merits nor demerits, nor Japanese policy towards the countries concerned governed the recalls, “The Times” emphasises that the purge is part of the reorientation of diplomacy planned when the formation of the present Cabinet was discussed with the Army.
