AGENT OF GESTAPO
JAPANESE HOME OFFICE
INFLUENCE WIELDED
LONDON August 2. Further details have now reached London regarding the presence of a representative of the German Gestapo 85-a-member of the staff of the Japan-
ese Home Office. He was appointed early in 1937 as information' officer to the Japanese Foreign Office following Japan's adherence to the anti-Comin-tern Pact. At the outbreak of war he was attached to the German Embassy in Tokio and was therefore a channel between the German Embassy and the Japanese Home.Office. The importance of his present position is the influence he is known to wield over Japan's internal affairs. Since the Russo-German Pact was signed last August his activities have naturally changed.
