JAPANESE TREND AMERICAN RESENTMENT STRAINED RELATIONS IMPROVEMENT NEEDED (Reed. Oct. 20, 9- a.m.) TOKIO, Oct. 19. In a surprisingly-blunt address the United States Ambassador, Mr. J. C. Grew, told an audience, including Japanese notables, that American public opinion strongly resented some of the actions of tile Japanese forces in China and that the position mus> change before the relations beweer. Japan and America could be improved.
Mr. Grew said that the Japanese entertained several fallacies, including one that the Americans misunderstood the new order in Asia. He asserted that the Americans understand the new order as well as the Japanese. "It appears to deprive Americans of long-established rights in China,” he said. "The American people are opposed to this.”
The Japanese would be wrong ii they thought they could convince Americans that the present Japanese practices in China should be condoned.
