Japan May Respond To Co-operation Offer
Shanghai, Sept. 13. Mr. Kawagoe, Japanese Am- bassador to China, in an interview with Reuter, said the foreign trade and commerce of China need not be affected unequally and unfairly by the Japanese objective, namely, the abandonment by Chinese lead- ers of anti-Japanism and the re- jection of communism,
Mr. Kawagoe declared that the achievement of this objective would bring about Sino-Japanese co-operation on an equal footing. He emphasised that the question of the "open door" did not arise. “
Asked whether Japan was willing to subject the dispute to an inter- national commission; Mr. Kawagoe replied it had always been the was traditional Japanese policy to set- tle Sino-Japanese questions with not China direct, He did not think. personally, there would be any change in that policy, but belleved Japan might not necessarily be unwilling to respond to an offer of co-operation by some of the Powers who had helped to settle the 1932 conflict-
