JAPANESE APPEAL TO GERMANS
(Rec. 7 p.m.) LONDON, September 29. The Japanese Ambassador to Berlin, Major-General Oshima, told Hitler that the Pacific situation was getting out of hand. The Stockholm correspondent of The New York Times, reporting this, said Major-General Oshima stated that this was because of the “ever increasing activity of the f United States Navy.” MajorGeneral Oshima demanded that Germany send large numbers of U-boats to help Japan to fight the .American Navy. The Japanese demand has been used as propaganda by Josef Goebbels, the German Propaganda Minister, who said that the absence of U-boats in European waters was due to the fact that they had been sent to the Pacific.
