JAPANESE WAR AIMS
AN UPROAR IN THE DIET PEACE APPEAL MENTIONED (Received February 3, 9 p.m.) TOKYO, February 2. There Was an uproar in the Japanese Diet when Mr Takao Saito, leader of the Minseito Party, caustically attacked the Government, demanding a statement on its war aims. Members cried “No” When Mr Saito said: “Peace can be offered only when the country keeps the army in the background.” This is seen as a suggestion that the army should be withdrawn from China before negotiating peace.
