all have upset Japan's expecta- tions. Japan, therefore, needs time to wear down United States! vigilance, forestall her ald to China and cooperation with Bri- tain.
The "National Times" says that any diplomatic offensive by Ja- pan will not alter United States' determination to oppose the settle- ment of. international: disputes by force.
If Admiral Nomura could suc- ceed in achieving Japanese- American rapprochement, he could have done so long ago when he was Foreign Minister.
The Lih Pao” says that Ja- panese-American relations will not improve while Japan persists in her policy of construction of a "New Order in East, Asia."-Cen- tral News.
