ECONOMIC BLOCKADE
INFORMATION IN JAPAN MISSION TO INDIES (By Telegraph—Press Associatiou —Copyright.) TOKIO, August 28. The "Yomiuri Shimbun" says certain Japanese sources have been reliably informed that the United States is making an effort to enlarge its economic blockade circle round Japan through the establishment of a regular air service between the United States and New Zealand and other means. The United States Government, says the newspaper, has dispatched a representative of the Standard Oil Company from Manila to Batavia for the purpose of exercising a restraining influence on the forthcoming negotiations with the Japanese Commerce Minister, Mr. Kobayashi. The "Yomiuri Shimbun" says the lavish personnel of the Japanese delegation, totalling 20, indicates the importance Japan attaches to the Dutch East Indies issue. The delegation will clarify to the Dutch and also the rest of the world the exact meaning, time, method, and limit of Japan's long-talked-of southward policy.
The "Nichi Nichi Shimbun" says the dispatch of Mr. Kobayashi shows that Japan's determination to enforce her southward policy is stronger than ever.
