JAPANESE DENIAL
OFFICIAL'S COMMENT
NO PERMISSION BY NAVY
TOKIO, December 28
The navy spokesman characterised as "false and fabricated" reports that German vessels in Japanese-controlled harbours in China are arming for raiding activities. He said that the navy had not permitted this and no such activities were at present in progress in the aforementioned harbours.
He said that such reports were undoubtedly similar to the unconfirmed report that a German warship with a Japanese name and flag shelled Nauru, the purpose being to cause disturbance. He said he was without information as to whether German raiders were active and making a rendezvous in Japanese mandated islands.
