Unconnected With War In Europe
Tokyo, Sept. 18, -
The Soviet-Jopanese truce agree- ment has nothing to do with the Europenn situation nor Has it been concluded through German medlation, declared the spokesman of the Foreign Office this morning. It was hoped that the agreement would have good effects on the settlement of other pending questions between the two countrive. If the disputed boundary hetween Outer Mongolka and Man- chukuo could be settled by a Joint commission, the same principle might possibly be applied to the boundary between the Soviet Union and Man- chukue
The spokesman declared that there had been no telk of a non-aggression pnet. Japan was not entertaining Inny such ideas at present,
He pointed out that Japan's polley of non-intervention in the European war os announced by the Government on September remained intact, "For the purpose of concentrating our efforts for the settlement of the China Affair, we are prepared to eurne to terms with any foreign countries forl
the settlement of pending questions."
