Make Tokyo An Offer
Washington, Sept. 12.
Authoritative sources disclosed today that American military officials were planning a pro- gramme of arnis aid for Japan during the fiscal year beginning next July if the Tokyo Government was in a position to agree.
The Pentagon planners are drawing up a pro- gramme calling for millions of dollars worth of war materials to be given to Japan, if that country decides to cast off its defenceless role and rearm itself.
The State Department and the White House are aware of the planning by the American military. While diplomatic policy makers have not yet given the plan their approval, they have made no effort to dissuade the Pentagon.
It was emphasised in official circles here that the American arms for Japan can be approved by Congress and shipped to the Far East only if the Japanese decide to undertake a programme of building up their armed forces.
