TRADE WITH JAPAN

German Answer To U.S. Abrogation CREDITS TC BE ISSUED LONDON. -July 28. The Berlin correspondent of “The Times” says that the trade treaty between Germany and Japan is expected largely to compensate tor the loss of trade after the termination of the treaty. Germans hope that this demonstration of solidarity between the signatories to the antl-Comltern pact will offset the American action, which it is considered is not due to domestic policies and is not justified by the existing relations between America and Japan, but is intended to demonstrate the solidarity of the democracies. The Press, despite English and American disclaimers, declares that America, by previous agreement, has taken up the cudgels when Britain for strategical reasons had laid them down. The German-Japanese treaty will come into operation on October 1, and aims at extending trade partly by means of German credit to Japan.
