JAPAN AND AXIS
ADMISSION OF RUSSIA ABUSE OF BRITAIN (United Pree« Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Sept. 30, 11.40 a.m.) TOKIO, Sept. 29 A frank admission that the new pact is directed against America is made by the press, despite official disclaimers. The Asahi stresses the fact that the pact foreshadows a new era of improved relations between Japan and Russia, as the two most important Powers “in the new Asiatic order.” The paper adds that Japan, Germany and Italy regard the Soviet as a newly-risen Power, capable of cooperation in the establishment of a new world order. A special clause concerning Russia has important significance for Japan’s future diplomacy toward the Soviet. The Nichi Nichi takes the opportunity to fulminate against Britain, as well as America, characterising Britain as “the greatest cause of mankind’s unhappiness—a monster stretching its claws into vital parts of the world for the last several centuries.”
