Japan Resents Any Discussion
Tokyo, Nov. 22. Asemt-diclal statement refutes the contention that the Washing- ton Fact, the Nine-Power Pact and the 'Four-Power Treaty are inter- related, and declares that if the Nine-Power Pact is renewed and the territorial integrity of China is assured, the independence or at least the establishment of Manchukuo will have to be recog- nised, Japan considers further discussion of the Manchukuo question unnecessary, however.
The statement adds that Japan holds that only naval questions should be considered in the per- sent talks in Tondon and at the 1935 Naval Conference. Japan, the statement declares, is willing consider the conclusion of bilateral peace pacts with Britain or the United States, but will absolutely oppose a multi-lateral agreement..
