WILD ASSERTIONS
MADE IN JAPANESE PRESS ALLEGED AGGRESSIVE FORMATIONS. REPLY TO MR CORDELL HULL. TOKIO. September 25. The “Hochi Hochi Shimbun,” commenting on the condemnation by the American State Secretary, Mr Hull, of the Japanese troops' entry into Indo-China, says: “To blame Japan is as absurd as the alleged Anglo-American joint defence agreement regarding Singapore. The “Nichi Niehl Shimbun” charges the United States, Britain and Australia with preparing “aggressive formations” against the Dutch East Indies and other countries in the southwestern Pacific for the purpose of interfering with Japan’s southward policy. It adds: “British and American economic pressure is powerless to restrain Japan, who will push her fixed policy with fresh energy.” The newspaper further points out that Australia since July has been refusing permits for wool exports, and therefore tha't country “may be regarded as having completely fallen in with the Anglo-American Far Eastern front.”
