JAPAN WAS VICTIM OF A

SUPER DOUBLE-CROSS

American Policy Attacked

Washington, Aug. 23.

Japan was the victim of a "super doublecross" at the hands of Nazi Germany at a time when she was neutral but was being pressed by Hit- ler to grant bases to Germany. Details of the sensational duplicity were revealed in captur- ed German documents-the writings of Grand Admiral Erich Raeder, German Navy Com- mander-in-Chief-which were published to-

day.
