ASIAN SECURITY PACT
NEED EMPHASISED BY JAPAN WASHINGTON. October 5. Japan’s Ambassador to the United States (Mr Eikichi Araki) said today that a regional security pact among the non-Communist nations in Asia was highly desirable. Speaking on a radio programme, Mr Araki sajd that Japan recognised its mistakes of the past and was now strongly against militarism, but he said that Japan could not avoid erecting military defences against the threat of aggression as the Communists in the Far East were equipped with arms and were resorting to military force. The Ambassador added, without elaboration: “I think some kind of regional arrangement of security among the free nations in Asia is highly desirable. We have no objection in principle.” He said that if the Communists had succeeded in dominating all of Korea, the natural inference would be further aggression in Japan.
