INCREASING ANGER
"NO LONGER ALLIES"
NO EXCUSE FOR SIGNING PACT
TOKIO, August 25,
Japan's anger against Germany is increasing. The army's demand for the conversion of the Anti-Comintern Pact into a military alliance has ceased, and, on the contrary, the newspapers agree that the Anti-Comintern Pact is dead.
An official spokesman in Tokio said that prominent Japanese who have been invited to the Nuremberg Congress will now attend in a private capacity and not as representatives _f the Government. He added that the return to Tokio of the British Ambassador, Sir Robert Craigie, from his holiday has reopened the way for negotiations over Tientsin, but that Japan's attitude is unchanged.
The newspaper "Kukomin Shimbun" declares: "Italy and Germany are no longer Japan's allies." Other papers agree that the signing of the Russian Pact does not admit of any excuse.
The "Kokumin Shimbun" states that Russia has offered to arrange a settlement of the Manchukuo-Mongol border quarrel, and also that the Soviet Embassy has suggested r Russo-Japan-ese Non-Aggression Pact'to the Japanese Foreign Office.
