Tokyo, Sept, 16.
The "Hochi" yesterday quoted Rear-Admiral Toshio Matsunaga, retired, managing director of the Japan Airways Company, as saying that Japan need not fear enemy air attacks "as long as her mighty navy and superior air force defend the country."
Admiral Tominaga was quoted as saying that the Japanese nation of late seems to have too much concern about the United States. In the cases of conclusion in Washington and Geneva of treaties and anti-war pacts, Japan always has pursued a policy of non-resistance, he said.
Admiral Matsunaga asked if it could be said Japan was so powerless it lived in dread of Britain or the United States or must court their goodwill.
