PURGE IN JAPAN
RECALL OF DIPLOMATS WIN FOR THE EXTREMISTS REASON FOR PURGE (United Press Assn.—Eiec. Tel. Copyright) (Received August 24, 3.15 p.m.) LONDON, Aug. 23 The Tokio correspondent of the Times says the wholesale recall of Japanese diplomatists purges the service of many more liberal and more able elements than their home critics. They were always a thorn in the flesh of the extremists. Although the Foreign Office spokesman emphasised that neither personal merits nor demerits nor the Japanese policy towards the countries concerned governed the recalls, the Times emphasies that the purge is of the reorientation diplomacy planned when the formation of the present Cabinet was discussed with the Army.
