DEMAND BY JAPAN FOR U-BOATS London, Sept. 28. The Japanese Ambassador to Berlin Mr Oshima, told Hitler that the Pacific situation was getting o ut of hand. The “New York Times” Stockholm correspondent reporting this said that Oshima stated this was because of the “evermcreasing activity of the United States Navy.” Oshimsf demanded that Germany send large numbers of U-boats to help Japan fight the American navy. The Japanese demand was used as propaganda by Goebbels, who said that the absence of U-boats in European waters was because they had been sent to the Pacific.
