Tokyo, Jan. 3.
The "Miyako," in an article to-day, says that Japanese influence extends through five provinces in North China and three provinces in Central China and includes the most important towns in the country, such as Peiping, Tientsin, Shanghai and Nanking.
"Japan's new policy," says the Miyako," "will be formulated with a view to:
1. Safeguarding her actual position in East Asia.
"2. Fulfiling her world obligations as the standard-bearer of anti-Communism."
Successfully discharging her responsibility in connection with the rehabilitation of China.
"This three-point platform," the journal asserts, "will necessarily entail withdrawal of recognition of the Chiang Kai-shek administration."
The Japanese Government, it suggests, will eventually not deal with this administration in conducting various undertakings in China, "though no formal statement withdrawing recognition will be issued."
A collective security system, the "Miyako" emphasises, is to be established for te Far East, under the anti-Comintern "banner, between Japan, Manchoukuo, New China, Siam and other Far Eastern nations, "and, if possible, in ce-operation with Britain and America."
