Washington, Jan. 5.
Omelal circles here remain quite reserved regarding the recent declara tons of Admiral Suetsugu, although seems possible that the White House may ask for an interpretation of his statements by Tokyo through the American Ambassador, Mr. Joseph Clark Grew.
Well-Informed circles believe the declarations to be bait in a possible Qiplomatle manceuvre intended to Aivide Great Britain and the United States.
It is noted here that when the Panay incident had caused considerable excitement in the United States, the Japanese made marked efforts to emphasize popular Japanese sympathy for the United States Havas.
