"NEW EAST ASIA"
PRINCIPLES DRAFTED
JAPAN'S INTENTIONS
ADVICE TO THIRD POWERS
TOKIO, November 1.
It is reported that, after it had been confirmed at today's Cabinet meeting, a draft statement of the principles to be adopted for the reconstruction »of the "new East Asia" is being submitted to the Emperor and will be published on November 3.
The statement will, it is stated, reiterate that Japan has no territorial designs in China but intends to crush the Chiang Kai-shek regime, whose anti-Japanese and pro-Communist policy is plunging millions of Chinese in dire distress. Third Powers will be counselled to look the Chinese realities in the face.
The statement is also expected to announce that Japan's foreign policy will henceforth be based on the antiComintern Pact and the Rome-Berlinr Tokio axis, which will be further strengthened. Japan will also declare her readiness to co-operate in establishing a new central Government in China and a new peace fabric, based on the principle of "East Asia for the Asiatics."
