JAPAN AND GERMANY
THE RECENT AGREEMENT ACTION AGAINST COMMUNISM TOKIO, Jan. 5. In the first broadcast by any Japanese Foreign Minister in support of his policy. Mr Arita, giving a new name to the German-Japanese agreement, said that under the antiCommintern Accord, Japan had taken the step to save China and Manchukuo from Communist penetration. Japan was not interested in Germany’s political system. Those who thought Japan was joining the Fascist group were ill-informed regarding the true nature of her Constitution. China’s tendency to become Bolshevised seriously threatened Japan, which heartily desired the Nanking Government and Chinese nationals to realise the importance of amicable relations. Japan was anxious to increase friendship with England and America, and aimed also at the readjustment of diplomatic relations with China and the Soviet.
