Japan Has 300 Warships Guarding BANKS Pacific Gateways, Says Spokesman
Special to the "Telegraph"
TOKYO, May 27 (Domei)-The first comprehensive survey of the Imperial. Japanese Navy's position vis-a-vis the threatening world situation since the outbreak of the European war, was given by Captain Hideo Hiralde, Director of the Naval Press Section of Imperial General Headquarters in a Navy Day broadcast to-day. "It is said that the impression apparent in some sections of the nation shows that the Pacific Ocean where the seas have been rising since the end of last year, recently began to present a temporary lull, but it really appears that the seas of the Pacific are rising higher every day," Captain Hiraide said,
Britain's position is becoming the present world situation that | difficult as the result of the Japan will never participate in the The Inspector, 12 Sal Yeung Cholly by German submarines and ble emergency as described above," counter-blockade enforced main-war but the Imperial Japanese Navy

"As the situation develops there is the danger of a clash between American warships and German submarines and the result will lead to a virtual state of war between Germany and the United States.
Tripartite Pact
"In the event of the United States entering the war, European war and Pacific problems will come to have inunediate effects upon Japan on ne- count of the tripartite alliance among Japan, Germany and Italy, and other circumstances.
"It is generally considered that even in case the United States chal- lenges Japan to war it will not be casy to mobilise the entire United Stales Fleet for an attack on Japan ond it is belleved among world naval experts that initial activities will take the form of guerilla warfare or com merce raiding."
