NOT GOING FASCIST
Assurance by Japanese Prime Minister
Tokio, March 21
Insisting that there was no secret military alliance clothed in the Ger-man-Japanese anti-Communist pact, the Prime Minister, General Hayashi, promised the House of Peers to-day that he would take steps to remove this suspicion abroad. Mr. Matsumura remarked that while there was need to check the growth of Communist influence, he did not believe it was necessary to conclude a special agreement with Germany. That had given a wrong impression, and he did not believe it would profit Japan. However, having signed the agreement, Japan would have to abide by it, although he hoped they would not fall into tlie error of adopting a Fascist policy through allying themselves with a Fascist nation. General Hayashi assured tlie House that Japan had no intention of going Fascist.
