JAPAN’S BIG DEAL
In Soviet Oil AMERICAN ATTITUDE CAUSES HER ANXIETY. (Aus. & N.Z. Cable Assn). (Received September 19 at 9.10 p.m.} BERLIN, September 19. Japan will now make the Japanese Navy independent of United States supplies of oil by means of a big petroleum contract which she is concluding with the Soviet Naptha Syndicate. There is growing tension as the result of Japan’s action at Shanghai and in Manchuria, and this tension has increased Japan’s desire to substitute Soviet oil for American oil. Russia has been highly suspicious of Japan’s intentions in Manchuria, but Japan’s recent big purchase of Russian oil supplies has eased the RussoJapanese situation. There is a deputation of Japanese business men visiting Moscow to complete the oil contract.
