NEW TONE TAKEN
ON SUBJECT OF PACT WITH SOVIET/ OBSERVATIONS IN TOKIO PRESS. AGREEMENT MAY BE VALUELESS. (By Telegraph—Press Association-Copyright) (Received This Day, 12.30 p.m.) TOKIO, April 16.
The British Ambassador (Sir R. Craigie) conferred with the Assistant Foreign Minister (Mr Ohashi), after which the Domei Agency stated that the purpose of Sir R. Craigie’s visit was to ascertain Japan’s attitude following on the conclusion of the Rus-sian-Japanese neutrality pact. Metropolitan newspapers today adopt a calmer and more reserved tone in reference to the pact. A number of editorials urge caution in JapaneseSoviet relations and the view is expressed that unless Moscow suspends aid to China and a conclusion is reached on various issues at present outstanding between the two countries, the pact will be valueless. The pact, should not' be construed as a gesture of goodwill towards Japan, says one paper, • but as the natural policy of the Soviet, which seeks to profit by the wars of others.
