BRITAIN AND JAPAN
AGREED ON WAR AIMS.
(Received June 13, 3 p.m.)
LONDON, 12th June.
Mr. A. J. Balfour, at a luncheon in honour of the Japanese Mission, said that Britain and Japan had no differences of opinion as to tho aim of the present war. He was sure that if the exigencies of the conflict required us to call upon our Allies to make new and fresh efforts Japan would live, as she had always done, up to her full obligations. (Cheors.) Mr. Balfour went on to criticise German trading methods, and pointed out these were part of her policy for world domination. Germany was trying by her manufacturing power to practically enslave all the rest of the world. This problem would have to be solved, and he hoped Japan would assist in foiling this policy of political and economic penetration.
