JAPANESE TACTICS

DIRECT ATTACK ON SOVIET THOUGHT LIKELY NEW PREMIER’S INFLATED' , TALK. EXPECTATION OF GRAVE DEVELOPMENTS. (By Telegraph—-Press Association—Copyright) LONDON, October 26. The political correspondent of the “Daily Express” says information in the possession of the British Government amply supports the warning by the United States Secretary of the Navy, Colonel Knox, that Japan is preparing to force a crisis. Grave developments are considered likely before the middle of November, depending on whether or not Russia maintains her resistance. A direct Japanese attack on Russia is considered the most likely diversion. The Japanese genuinely want a settlement with the United States, but President Roosevelt’s insistence on the termination of the China war is expected to prove an insuperable obstacle. Tokio reports that the Premier, General Tojo, addressing 200 higher officials at Osaka, said:— “With the world environment changing so quickly, we cannot tell what is in store for us at any minute, but tha empire stands solemnly on the national policy reiterated time and again. “We must go on and develop in an ever-expanding progression. There is no retreat.

“Naturally, difficulties arise, but if a hundred million people merge into one iron solidarity and go forward, nothing can stop us. “If this state of preparedness is completed, diplomacy will become an easy affair. Wars can be fought with ease, nothing can surprise me and no international pressure can disturb me. Unity makes the people one and whole and will solve all problems.” General Tojo, interviewed, urged the nation to trust the Government as a persons trusts the driver of a taxi-cab. He said that naturally the Government must let the people know where- it was leading them, but the people should leave it to the Government’s discretion to do what it thought best. BRITISH CONCERN ARREST OF TWO NATIONALS IN JAPAN. LONDON, October 27. The British Ambassador to Tokio, Sir Robert Craigie, is to take the first opportunity of expressing to the new Japanese Foreign Minister, Mr Togo, the British Government’s concern at the arrest in Tokio on September 16 of two Englishmen, Messrs Mason and Martin. Mr Togo is receiving members of the diplomatic corps as from today.
