STERN WARNING.
AMERICA TO JAPAN. EAST ASIA EXPANSION. NEW YORK, Aug. 24. It is reliably reported that the United States has delivered a new and drastic warning to Japan that the time of reckoning must come if Japan persists in pursuing her present course in East Asia. According to informants the Japanese Ambassador (Mr Horinouclii) was called to the State Department a fortnight ago and given a long review of the American viewpoint after which he was handed a written memorandum for the information of his Government. The document reviewed in broad outline the history of Japanese-American relations since the start of the SinoJapanese War in 1937, and stressed the United States viewpoint regarding the rights of Americans in China and went into detail regarding hindrances to American trade and other American rights in China. The document concluded with the assertion that these matters were not being forgotten and the time would certainly come when a reckoning would be necessary. The document carried farther and brought up to date the warning contained in the address of the Ambassador (Mr J. C. Grew) at Tokio in October, 1939, when he returned from Washington.
