JAPAN NOW FEARS PUSH FROM NORTH

(By OTTO D. TOLISCHUS)

PREPARATIONS FOR the American-British- Soviet military conference in Moscow have caused Japan's political interest to shift from the dangers of a further southward advance to the menace in the north. The Japanese view is summed up by the newspaper Hochi as follows:

"We cannot remain indifferent to the report of an understanding reached between Britain, the United States and the Soviet Union for the allot- ment of war materials, because such an under- standing will have the greatest influence not only on the Axis States grouped around Germany and Italy in Europe but also upon Soviet-Japanese rela-

tions.

"The Soviet Union's participa- tion in the joint front with Brit-} ain and the United States, as; manifested by the proposed Moscow conference, indicates the Soviet has fallen into the crafty manoeuvres of Britain.

If anything should happen to Impair Soviet-Japanese rela. tions, which have greatly im. proved since the conclusion of! the neutrality pact, the respon. sibility will rest with the Krem- (in."
