US. Near Break With Japan

Representative Hinshaw Warns Nation They May Have to "Go It Alone"

Washington, Sept. 13.

Mr. Carl Hinshaw, Republican Resentative of California, yesterday said the United States is "perilously near a break" with Japan and warned that if the situation is aggravated to that point "we can expect to go it alone."

Mr. Hinshaw inserted into the Congressional Record an article by a Japanese journalist, Mr. K. K. Kawakami, saying that Japan feels her efforts for friendship with the United States have proved futile and therefore she feels foreed to revise her policy, possibly toward collaboration with Britain, which has been more ce-operative in the Far East.

Mr. Hinshaw said the article probably had the approval of the Japanese Foreign Office before it was published originally in the Foreign Affairs magazine.
