TOJO’S CONFIDENCE
EMPIRE’S RISE OR FALL PACT WITH AXIS POWERS (United Press Assn.—Elec. Tel. Copyright) (Received Dec. 9, 3.15 p.m.) TOKIO, Dec. 8 Broadcasting throughout Japan, General Tojo said: “I am convinced of victory. America put forward to Japan unacceptable demands. If Japan had accepted these conditions the prestige, the very existence, of the Japanese empire would have been in question. "The Japanese people will have to reckon with a long war and from its result will depend the rise or decline of the Japanese empire, the ruin or prosperity of Eastern Asia. “I am happy that our pact with Germany and Italy, as well as our relations with Manchukuo and China, have taken an even closer shape.”
