British, U.S. Policies "Threat to Japan"
Tokyo, Sept. 23.
The widely-held Japanese view that Japan should adopt an opportunist policy in the Far East owing to Britain's preoccupation in Europe, is denounced by the well-known Japanese commentator, Mr. Soho Tokutomi, in an article in the "Nichi Nichi."
It would be not only wrong from the standpoint of international morality for Japan to move in on Briti interests in the Far East, on the assumption that occupied with her struggle agai Germany to. defend them, but such 2 policy also might prove imprudent and inexpedient, Mr. Tokutomi says.
As Britain apparently grows weaker, America is gaining strength by leaps and bounds, the writer holds, and the interests of the two countries are almost identical.
