, DECLARED BY PRINCE KONOYE GREAT TURNING POINT REACHED. CO-OPERATION OF ENTIRE NATION. (By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright) TOKIO, Octboer 12. The Premier, Prince Konoye, in a speech at the opening of a national service association formed to establish a new national structure, reiterated that Japan was facing a great turning point, requiring the entire nation’s co-operation. The “Asahi Shimbun’s” Batavia correspondent said the Japanese Commerce Minister, Mr Kobayashi, in a speech asserted: “Japan is making the utmost efforts to establish self-suffi-cient and common prosperity in the Greater East Asia sphere through peaceful diplomatic measures. However, if any nation obstructs such diplomatic measures we will be compelled to take a firm stand.” The “Yomiuri Shimbun” said the Railway Ministry’s International Tourist Board has decided to abandon its long dependence on the United States and seek tourists from friendly Powers. It said that with German and Italian co-operation the board would undertake a world-wide publicity campaign, concentrating specially on the Near East, South America and Asiatic countries.
