FOREIGN POLICY
JAPANESE NATION PEACEFUL INTENTIONS CRITICISM OF THE LEAGUE By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright (Received April 26, 5.5 p.m.) TOKIO, April 25 The Foreign Minister, Mr. Arita, in outlining the foreign policy of Japan at a gathering of journalists, said she aimed at the peaceful development of all her domains, based on conciliation toward all countries. The Minister denied aggressive intentions on the Manchukuo frontier, where Japan would not intervene unless provoked. Jtiisso-Jnpanese problems should be solved diplomatically, said Mr. Arita. ]f Western peoples could realise the facts they would approve Japan's attitude toward China. Mr. Arita emphasised that Japan would maintain friendly relations with Britain, America and other Western Powers, especially those in the Pacific. The Minister expressed the opinion that the League of Nations was too preoccupied in creating mechanism intended to secure peace to pay sufficient attention to the elimination of the origins of conflicts, which should be its first duty.
