MR. ARITA'S STATEMENT
INTEREST IN LONDON
PUZZLING ARGUMENTS
(Srltisb Official wireless.)
RUGBY, January 21
The statement by the Foreign Minister (Mr. Arita) at the reopening' of the Diet on the aims of Japan in China has been read with great interest in London and will be the subject of careful study. In the meantime, wellinformed British commentators confess to finding some of Mr. Arita's arguments difficult to follow.
It is asked, for example, how the outside world is to reconcile Mr. Arita's claim that Chinese independence will be fully preserved with the present policy of the Japanese Government, which, as seen from London, clearly has the military domination of China as its aim.
