CENSORSHIP Anti-Communist Treaty Negotiations

DIRECTED AGAINST RUSSIA?

Shanghai, November 18.

It is learned that strict censorship' has been clamped down. on Japan news in Tokyo and Berlin despite denials of putting—– the finishing touches to anti-communist treaty negotiations ini. tated on the return recently to Japan of the German, Ambassa- dor, Herr von Dirkson.

The Foreign Office spokesman in Tokyo informed the cor- respondents that no news on the subject could be flied. An Ame- rican Journailst tried to send a message, but it was stopped. A Japanese Journal which mentioned the matter was, suppressed, and other newspapers were notified that news bearing on the treaty was not publishable.

The terms of the treaty are not known, but obviously they are aimed as restraining the Soviet according to a reliable informant from Tokyo, who adds that the the treaty will be submitted to Privy Council by. Mr. Hirota in a few weeks.

It is understood that the signs- tories seek adhesion with other powers, notably Italy, although an immediate response is not expect- est.
