TOKIO, April 25
Mr. Arita, Foreign Minister, outlining Japan's foreign policy at a gathering of newspapermen, declared that Japan aimed at the peaceful development of all her domains, based on conciliation with all countries. He denied aggressive intentions on the Manchukuo frontier, where Japan would not intervene unless provoked.
He added that Russo-Japanese problems should be solved diplomatically, while if Western peoples could realise the facts they would approve Japan's attitude towards China. He emphasised that Japan would maintain friendly relations with Britain and America and other Western Powers, especially in the Pacific.
He expressed the opinion that the League of Nations was too preoccupied with the creating of mechanism intended to secure peace to pay sufficient attention to the elimination of the origins of conflict, which should be its first duty.
