REACTION IN JAPAN
“STEP TOWARD WAR” CRITICISM BY NEWSPAPERS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) TOKIO, August 20 The Japanese newspapers generally interpret President Roosevelt’s agreement with Mr Mackenzie King as a further step by the United States toward participation in the European war. The Asahi Shimbun says: “The United States has already stepped into the whirlpool of the European war.” The Hochi Shimbun says: “Mr Roosevelt’s action is primarily aimed to protect the Monroe Doctrine, but it may be interpreted as a scheme simultaneously to induce Canada to join the United States in pressure on Japan.”
