JAPAN GUARANTEES NEUTRALITY
(Received 12 noon)
LONDON, September 3.
A New York station intercepted a British Broadcasting Corporation announcement that Japan had guaranteed neutrality to Britain. The Tokio message reports that Inichi Shimbun states that Japan will remain strictly neutral without a formal declaration.
The Cabinet, in a three-hour session, canvassed the advantages which Japan might derive in China while Europe was at war. The Cabinet decided tentatively to seek assurances that third Powers would not interfere in China.
The Tokio Foreign Office has instructed the Japanese embassy in Moscow to seek an immediate settlement of the fighting on the Outer Mongolian frontier between the Japanese and the Soviet-Mongolian forces.
