New York, Mar. 8.
Chief interest in America in Far Eastern affairs now centres on when ther Mr, Yosuke Matsuoka, Japanese Foreign Minister. will visit Berlyin. It he does it is thought it will more likely be on Japan's account than at Herr Hitler's dictation.
According to reports reaching here it is apparent that inequalities in the Berlin(Tokyo Pact are probably the chief reason. While the pact calls on Jepan to go to Germany's assistance if anyone else attacked her, the pact calls for no German assistance no matter who might attack Japan.
It is thought that Tokyo now feels that there are droughty holes in the protective garment of the Axis Pact, hence the necessity for the unprecedented suggestion that Japan's Foreign Minister would leave the country for Europe at a time of obvious crisis—Reuter.
