London, Oct. 28.
Business circles in Germany have received with a profound lack of enthusiasm the statement made yèsterday, in an interview with the "Tokyo correspondent of the "Nueste Nachrichten," by Mr. Toshio Shiraion the new Japanese Ambassador to Italy, on Japan's attitude towards foreign Powers in the Far East, according to the Berlin correspondent. of "The Times" today.
It may be assumed, the corsespondent asserts, that Mr. Shiratori's statement, in which he was quoted as saying that German technicians and industries in China would receive preferential treatment, has found equally unenthusíastie reception in those German official circles concerned in an expert capacity with the Far Eastern question.
