AGGRESSIVE SPEECH
JAPANESE AXIS SUPPORTER
TOKIO, September 13. The possibility of Japan achieving a rapprochement with the United States was discounted by Mr. Seigo Nakano, a prominent , Axis-minded politician and publisher, in an address in which he issued a warning that "this is no time for the ' Japanese nation to be hesitant" He said a rapprochement was not likely because the policies of the two countries were so fundamentally opposed. ' , Mr. Nakano said that in the event of the Japanese navy, consisting of 500 warships, and Japan's 4000 planes being stationed in the south-western Pacific and threatening the Australian and Indian sea routes, then Britain and America would be unable to cope with Germany's offensive since they already had their hands full in maintaining the patrol for American shipments to Britain. . The speaker predicted that Germany would enter Iran from the Caucasus, thereby reaching the Persian Gulf and effecting a connection with Japan, via Singapore.
