STOCKHOLM, Dec. 30 (Reuter).-Japan does not intend to aggravate the For Bombers
present situation in the Pacific provided that her own existence is not gravely threatened, said Dr Itoh, the Japanese Minister of Information, to the correspondent of the Swedish newspaper, "Social Democratic" to-day.
Dr Itoh added that Japanese| policy, based on the alliance with the Axis, was directed against no nation; it merely defined the minimum demands necessary for Japan's existence. Dr Itoh declared that Japan hoped to persuade the United States and Britain to sympathise with her view that each nation should play an un- hindered role in its own part of the world. In Eastern Asin, Japan's aim was reconstruction on the basis of international justice which would also promote world peace.
