S. WE ASKED ONDA FOP JAPANESE VIEWS IN THE LIGHT OF THE DISCUSSIONS WITH THE CHINESE HERE IN THE PAST WEEK. HE TOOK THE LINE THAT THERE WAS NOTHING PARTICULARLY NEW IN WHAT THE CHINESE HAD HAD TO SAY, THAT THE JAPANESE WERE NOT TAKING THE WU CONCESSION ON BRITISH CAPITAL VERY SERIOUSLY'' AND THAT AS A RESULT IN JAPANESE EYES NOTHING HAD REALLY CHANGED. THE JAPANESE GOVERNMENT WOULD STILL TAKE THE VIEW THAT THEY HOPED THE NEGOTIATIONS WOULD BE SUCCESSFUL, THAT THERE WAS NO CAUSE FOR JAPANESE BUSINESSMEN AND OTHERS TO GET PANICKY, AND THAT THEY SHOULD HAVE CONFIDENCE IN THE FUTURE OF HONG KONG AND DO GOOD BUSINESS.
