BRITAIN AND JAPAN
NAZI TALK OF FRICTION
DENIED
(British Official Wireless.) (Received October 18, 12.50 p.m.)
RUGBY, October 17
Well-informed circles in London state that there is not the least justification for the reputed allegation on the German wireless that the Japanese are indignant at the patrolling by the British Fleet of areas adjoining their territorial waters, nor. has anything been heard of a Japanese protest in this connection.
There is indeed no ground for such a protest, for British action in no way interferes with Japanese operations, while Britain has allowed the Japanese Navy to verify the nationality of Britain's own ships during the China incident, although Japan could not claim belligerent rights.
