JAPAN’S NEW ORDER DUTCH EAST INDIES OIL SUPPLY CONDITIONS STATEMENT BY ENVOY (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Reed. Oct. 23. 2 p.m.) LONDON, Ori. 22. The Batavia correspondent of the British United Press says that wellinformed circles declared that English, Dutch and American interests handling the oil produced in the Dutch East Indies have agreed to supply Japan under certain conditions. The Singapore Straits Times says it is reliably reported that a joint Japanese-Dutch memorandum, which Mr. Kobayashi recently signed, said in effect that Japan does not include the Dutch East Indies within the sphere of the new order in Asia. It is understood that the document was drawn up as a result of the alliance between Germany, Italy and Japan, which the Dutch considered a serious obstacle to the continuance of the oil negotiations.
The Bremen radio stated that the leader of the Japanese economic mission to the Dutch East Indies, Mr. Kobayashi, hopes to return to Batavia shortly. The problem oi oil supplies for Japan is being debated separately. from other questions. Japan needs more than the Dutch have so far offered.
