Tokyo, Sept. 16.
In a statement today on the Soviet Japanese Armistice, the Foreign Once spokesman dectared:—"The Japanese Government has been turning ils efforts towards. a soltlement of ponding questions beween Japan and the Soviet Union, Semi-official quarters in Washington stressed that the continuation of hostilities in China cannot leave the [Unied States indifferent. Washington, they added, fully, yese-ves all its Fights resultant from the Nine Power Treaty.
The policy of Soviet Russia is Jsouree of constant worry to oficial Jquarters in the United States who wonder what further surprise Moscow ]will spring on the world following her non-aggression pact with Germany. These quarters are now more reserved than ever for there are no indications as to What direction Mos-loew's policy will take. Furthermore, the concentration of Soviet troops Jalong the Polish frontier adds to the anxiety in Washington.
The prospect of complete co-opera tion between Germany and Soviet JRussia which would become more likely following a Russo-Japanese Jagreement is causing considerable Jworry to American official quarters. Hit may be one of the important fu: {tors in the debate on the Neutrality JAct in Congress next week.
Certain political observers believe that the reaction of public opinion against the Nazi crusade will stiffen Jconsiderably and may weaken the arguments of those opposed to the revision of the Neutrality Act.—
