CONTROL IDEA “CHILDISH

CHICAGO, TO-DAT

THE DECLARATION THAT JAPAN'S GREATEST FEAR WAS SOVIET AGGRESSION, COUPLED WITH THE ALLEGA- TION THAT THE SOVIET HAD BEEN DIRECTING REVOLU TION IN CHINA. WAS MADE BY THE JAPANESE AMBAS- | SADOR, MR. HIROSI SAITO, IN AN ADDRESS TO THE COUNCIL FOR FOREIGN RELATIONS HERE.

He said that Japan's intervention in Manchuria and her pre- sent activity in China was intended to curtail Soviet infidence in those sectors..

He alleged that for the last eight years the Soviet had been directing revolution in China through propagandists, political agents, and military leaders sent direct from Moscow, thus con- stituting a menace which Japan could not ignore.

MR. SAITO EMPHASISED. THAT JAPAN'S ONLY DESIRE FOR CHINA WAS THAT SHE SHOULD REMAIN INDEPEND- ENT, AND DECLARED THAT THE IDEA THAT JAPAN WISHED TO CONTROL CHINA WAS "CHILDISH.” — REU- TER.
