GERMAN PRESSURE
POLICY OF JAPAN
SIGNS IN NEWSPAPERS
LONDON, February 14.
The Japanese Press is showing increasing signs of German pressure. Tonight • the German-controlled radio station at Carlsbad quoted the Japanese newspaper "Yomiuri Shimbun" as saying that "things have now gone too far and Admiral Nomura's mission to the United States is hopeless." Statements of this sort, broadcast from German sources, are taken as an indication of the pressure Germany is applying to Japan rather than an expression of the Japanese Government's policy. Chinese newspapers today give considerable space to reports of Japanese concentrations off the coast of French Indo-China, but Chungking indicates a
general belief that the Japanese will be extremely wary in launching a drive to the south until there is reason to believe that Germany and Italy are emerging from the tangle in which they find themselves in Europe.
