JAPAN APPREHENSIVE
GOVERNMENT CLOSELY QUESTIONED ANGLO-JAPANESE RAPPROCHEMENT URGED Pres* Association—By Telegraph—Copyright TOKIO, March 11. A crowded Diet heard a debate on foreign affairs, members questioning the Government how Japan could be prevented from being involved in the threatened European maelstrom, denouncing the secrecy surrounding the Japanese-German pact, urging an Anglo-Japanese rapprochement, and demanding information enabling the country to judge whether it was headed for peace or war. Baron Sato, replying, said he did not believe that war in Europe was near, as influences were working against it. He explained that the JapaneseGerman agreement was designed to check the activities of the Third International, which aimed at world revolution. He added that he would do his best to dispel foreign misunderstanding concerning the agreement. If Russia and Japan were sincere they could reach an agreement without difficulty, as could all countries with strained international relations.
