RUSSIAN-GERMAN WAR
HOW IT CHANGED THINGS JAPAN EXPECTS MORE NEW ALIGNMENTS (Reed. 9.40 p.m.) Tokio, July 20. The Information Board spokesman, Mr. Ito, said the outbreak of the Russian-German war brought a very great change in the world situation. Japan, after Crete, expected Germany would attack England instead of Russia. “Some people think Britain, America and Russia will now unitedly pit themselves against German;.. Japan and Italy, and finally an ideo- . cal war will begin." he said. “Howei.;r. the situation is not so. I think it would be dangerous to rush to any rash conclusions." He expressed the opinion that further changes in national alignments were possible on the lines of Russia's shift from Germany Io Britain, for which reason one could not rely on others. Mr. lito did not mention Japans relations with the Axis during a long international review.—U.P.A.
