Tokyo, Jan. 20.
Expressing a fear that Great Britain would induce other Powers to "join la her economic pressure against Japan, Mr. Kenzo Adachi, President of the Kokumin Domei (National League), a reactionary political party, warned the nation yesterday to pre-pere for such an eventuality.
Speaking at a party convention, he urged the establishment of "departments of continental affairs" in universities throughout the country to help the people "realize the difficulty now confronting Japan in her efforts to build up a new order in East Asia."
Commenting on the recent British Note, Mr. Adachi said its diplomatic significance was entirely different m the American Note. Britain's Note was actuated by a desire not only to safeguard existing treaties but to "extend moral support to Gen. Chiang Kai-shek," he declared. "Brit-rin not only granted a £10,000,000 Joan to the Gen. Chiang Kai-shek regime, but supplied the latter with 60,000 tons of arms and. ammunition during November and December through Burma," Mr. Adachi stated.
"Instead of attempting to reach an understanding with Britain by explaining Japan's real intentions, it is vitally important at this time under the present circumstances to pursue military operations vigorously to crush the regime of Gen. Chiang Kaishek and to prepare the nation against he worst eventuality."—Domei.
