ITALIAN NEWSPAPER
Rome, July 25.
The relative position of the United States, the U.S.S.R. and Japan in the Far East are analy od in an editorial appearing in the Fascist organ, Ginzresta del-Popolu. "On the one hand President Roosevelt is preparing to extend de Jure recognition to the U.S.S.R. and is at the same time concentrat ing his fleets in the Pacific, simul- taneously hastening to build up the American Navy to the limits of parity with England.
On the other hand, Mr. Yurenev, chief Soviet negotiat ir at Tokyo, is pursuing with veritable Oristal, patience the sabotage of the parley at Tokyo which have for their jert the sale of the Chinese Eastern Railway to Manchukuo. The true character of these negotiations and exchanges is seen in the events that are necompanying it: Aring on frontier ports, visits of Japanese destroyers in Soviet waters, at tempts on the lives of the negotin-
tors, etc...
