AUSTRALIAN LEGATIONS
TOKIO NOT INCLUDED
[BY CABLE —PRESS ASSN. —COPYRIGHT.]
CANBERRA, July 17
In view of the disturbed relations between Britain and Japan, the Commonwealth. Government does not intend at the present time to establish an Australian Legation at Tokio. It is felt that this might be interpreted as a gesture favourable to’ Japan and as being critical of the British policy. The Commonwealth Government, however, will continue its efforts to promote good relations with other Pacific countries, including proposals for ah exchange of diplomatic representatives with the United States and the setting up of Legations with Java and China.
A proposal to place an Australian officer with diplomatic status in New Zealand will also be proceeded with.
