Tokyo, Feb. 8.
The question of whether Japan can trust the proposed Wang Ching-wei regime, now being organized in China by the Japanese army, was raised before the Premier, Admiral "M. Yonai, at today's meeting of the Diet Budget Committee.
Fears that the proposed rump Kuomintang regime might eventually become Communist and anti-Japanese were expressed by Mr. Masazumi Ando, a member of the Seiyukai Party.
In another frank interpellation of the Premier, the Diet member said he was suspicious of the proposed "Wang regime because it had announced. its support of the late Dr. Sun Yat-sen's "Three Peoples' Principles' which he termed as being but Communism." He pointed out that these same principles were also fecelving the support of Generalissimo Chiang Kaishek.
(Mr. Ando warned the Premier that the proposed Wang regime might eventually adopt anti-Japanese policies Indicating that the same suspicions are being held in high Japanese circles, Lieut-. Gen. Heisuke Yanagawa, director of the China Affairs Board, admitted that such a danger existed and said that "Japan must be on her guard against this."
Mr. Ando also said he believed that effective collaboration with the Wang regime would necessitate Japanese economic assistance to the ousted Kuomintang figure as well as the continued stationing of Japanese troops in China.
