THE NOTE HANDED TO THE JAPANESE FOREIGN MINISTER, MR. ARITA, BY SIR ROBERT CRAIGIE, BRITISH AMBAS- SADOR IN TOKYO, ON SATURDAY, CLEARLY DEMON- STRATES THE FIRM ATTITUDE TOWARD JAPAN OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT WHICH HAS NOT AT ALL BEEN AFFECTED BY JAPAN'S COERCION AND HOODWINKING, DECLARED A SPOKESMAN OF THE MINISTRY OF FOR- EIGN AFFAIRS IN AN INTERVIEW WITH THE CENTRAL NEWS YESTERDAY.
Reiteration of Britain's continued adherence to the principles of the Nine-Power Treaty, refusal to ac- cept or to recognise any changes in China brought about by force and opposition to any modification of the Nine-Power Treaty as con- tained in the note, concide with the attitude of the United States Gov- ernment toward the Far East expounded in its notes to Japan on October 6 and December 31 last year, the spokesman pointed out.
