COLONIES IN ASIA
ATTITUDE OF JAPANESE PRIVILEGES OPPOSED CRecd. Nov. 3, 11 a.m.) LONDON, Nov. 2. An Independent Cable Service message from Tokio states that the spokesman of the Japanese Foreign Office stated at a press conference to-day that it was his personal opinion that the Asiatics believed the holding of colonies and privileges by Western nations in the Asiatic zone was wrong and should be eliminated.
He smilingly declined to discuss the matter further when bombarded with questions, but the statement is considered to be a prelude to the abrogation of the Nine-Power Treaty.
