GERMANY AND JAPAN
MAKE A PACT BRITAIN’S REFUSAL TO JOIN LONDON, November 17. The Shanghai correspondent of The Times says that according to advices from Tokyo the reported German Japanese anti-communist agreement is less than a formal allium e but more than u mere declaration against communism. The following is a foieeast. The purely defensive character of the agreement will be emphasised. The purpose of the agreement is to unite anti-communist powers against the spread of Soviet influences. It will probably provide for technical collaboration between the German and Japanese armies, and also for German assistance towards Japanese rearmament. The agreement is not directed against China. On the contrary, the Japanese policy is to secure Chinn’s adhesion. Italy, it is added, will probably adhere to the agreement, either di reetly or through an agreement with Germany. The Japanese, it is said, originally hoped to include Britain in an anti-Soviet front, but Britain refused to join in any project dividing the world into fascist and communist blocs.
