BRITAIN CREATES A GOOD IMPRESSION IN JAPAN.

APPRECIATION OF HIGH MOTIVES WELCOMED. JAPAN'S OCCUPATION OF ISLANDS CALLED IN QUESTION. 'Received October '25, 7.30 p m.) ToKin, October 24. The communication expressing Britain's appreciation of Japan's assistance has created a profound impression, and is acting as a set-off to certain adverse criticism of Japan's occupation of the Marshall and Caroline Islands. Mr. Winston Churchill's telegram shows that Japan's movements in the South Seas are being carried out with Britain's agreement. Influences antagonistic to a Japanese-American entente have been endeavouring to create an impression that Japan was acting aggros-, sivcly in the South Seas and menacing American interests in the Far East, Britain's appreciation of Japan's high motives is welcomed as an indication that there will be closer relations m the future between East and West. . • , '.. . y ;
