Such representations, the newspaper continues," would be in the form of a warning to prevent the spread of the effects of the European war to East Asia and stressing Japan's strict adherence to the principle of non-involve- ment in the conflict.
The Asahi Shimbun expresses! doubts on whether the Allied fleets in the Far East are strong enough to enlarge their activity to such an extent:
Japan must maintain strict neu- trality, adds the paper, and, at the same time, take all steps to protect, fully her neutral rights in view of the Asarba Maru incident.
