Editorial comments on the Government's final decision regarding details of its policy in the new European situation appear in only a few newspapers this morning. These details received the Imperial sanction yesterday afternoon following their approval by the five-Minister conference.
The "Chugai Shogyo," a leading commercial daily, regrets that the public has been left in the dark regarding the prpfeedings in the five-Minister conference, as well as the "final decision" it reached yesterday. It urges the Government to make public an outline of its policy in the European situation.
Although the European situation claims a certain amount of attention from Japan, it says, "the China Incident forms a question of supreme importance."
The "Kokumin," which has consistently advocated a military alliance with Germany and Italy, says that-the European situation is im portant to Japan "so long as it has a bearing upon the Far Eastern situation."
It urges the Government to see that a "settlement of the China Incident, will not be hampered by being concerned too greatly over European affairs," and says that the Government should maintain a passive attitude and calmly await developments in the European situation," without taking a bold step to strengthen relations with Germany and Italy."
