'PREMIER'S APPEAL TO THE JAPANESE
FROM PAGE ONE
German Ministry of Propaganda is that they had taken from us the command of the seas. It is true that! they are using their nir force to make attacks upon undefended trawlers, fishermen and tight vessels, and although they make baste to return home as soon as fire is opened upon them by anti-aircraft gunn or by of our fighter aircraft, they do take a certain toll of ships and lives.

"The first attack upon a convoy made by a U-boat for a long time resulled yesterday in the destruc- tion of the U-boat by the com- naval and air of bined efforts forces which were escorting the
convoy.
"Lest the Ministry of Propaganda In Germany attempt to deny the statement just made, I may inform practice we have saved the lives of the majority of the crew."

Relation With Neutrals
་
Mr. Chamberlain also touched upon reintions with neutrals.
Mr. Chamberlain mentioned the agreement with the United States a little over a year ago based on the principle of the most invoured nation, and said: "We mean, when the war is successfully concluded, to return to that ideal."
"We must guard against the vicious policy of economic nationalism and autarchy which did so much to upset the last great pouce settlement," said the Premier.
"One of our foremost aims will be the restoration of International trade,
"I am convinced that the sentiments and ultimate interests of neutrals must be on the side of those who are trying to uphold the rights of nations and Individuals to live their Rves free from the fear of aggression and persecution."
Britain and France, Mr. Chamber- lain concluded, "will fight on until the freedom which has been outraged comes into its own again until friend and energy can sit down to build up a happier and safer world,"
The Asama Incident
Referring to the Asama Maru Incident, Mr. Chamberlain, sald: "You, no doubt, have read of the incident between us and a neutral friendly government, Japan. No doubt strict interpretation of inter- national law is a matter on
which our respective governments may take: different views, but I am not cerned this afternoon with inter- antional law because after all, these: legal issues are not the strongest in- fluence in the life of nations or the hearts of men.

"Indeed, nothing would more dis fress-us than there should be in the minds of the Japanese people and the Japanese
panese Government any idea that we had deliberately or intentionally exercised our belligerent rights as we see them with a want of courtesy or want of consideration to the Japanese
nation.
"We are bound to take all measures frustrate the mac- open to us to
nations of a powerful and utterly unscrupulous enemy, but certainly the i inst thing we want to do is to affront i the self-respect of a friendly nation with whom we want to live in peace," Mr. Hull's Confidence
WASHINGTON, Jan, 31 (Reuter) -Mr. Cordell Hall, the US, Secretary ul State, commenting on Mr. Chamber- lain's speech, expressed confidence that there will Le universal accept- ance of the principles of a

Mr. Hull added that the primary purpose of reciprocal trade arrange- iments is to keep important nations: fram being swept into economic totalitarianism.
