JAPAN’S FOREIGN POLICY
STRENGTHENING THE ANTICOMINTERN AGREEMENT POINT OF PACT SHARPENED AGAINST THE SOVIET Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright LONDON, May 18. (Received May 19, at 12.5 p.m.) The Tokio correspondent of ‘ The Times ’ says skilful draughtsmanship has evolved a satisfactory formula for strengthening the anti-Comintern agreement, which tho Japanese Government is prepared to put into effect in preference to the proposed military alliance. It is learned that the new agreement does not contain any military, economic, nor political pledges, but definitely strengthens the antiComintern Pact, and sharpens its point against the Soviet. Japan is not pledged to enter any quarrel unless her own paramount interests in East Asia are affected. The new pact, however, aligns Japan a shade more definitely with one of the two great camps into which the world is being divided.
