Tokyo, June 18.
Kenkichi Yoshizawa, chief Japanese delegate to the Batavia parleys, has been ordered to return to Tokyo because the N.E.I. reply to the Japanese proposals was "hardly worth being specially incorporated in an international agreement," according to an official announcement today.
The announcement stressed, however, that normal relations between Japan and the N.E.I. would "by no means be affected."
The announcement claimed the Japenese requests were "very reasonable" in view of the fact that Third Powers were "very liberally perm't-ted" to engage in aviation, oil and other enterprises in the N.EI.
Among the Japanese requests, the announcement mentioned the development of natural resources, free Japanese entry, pursuit of occupations, the call of ships at closed ports, ccestal navigation, end fishing.
