Moscow, Feb. 27, Soviet quarters are of the opinion that if the militarists retain power in Japan the outcome will be re- newed aggression in the Far East on the part of the Tokyo Government. Either that, or internal struggles among the different parties in the country will result, and in any civil clash the militarists would be seriously weakened, no matter what the outcome.-Reuter.
LONDON ANXIOUS
•
London, Feb. 26. World-wide uneasiness has been aroused by the Japanese military coup d'etat and anxiety is felt here and in Paris, where the uneasiness was reflected by a sharp fall of stocks on the Bourse. Newspapers are talking again of threats to the peace of the Far East and the possibility of other powers besides China and the Soviet being involved. One paper remarks on the fact that the Japanese camarilla is essentially anti- European, but that that does not mean that it is not encouraged from Europe.-Reuter Special.
GERMAN REACTION
Berlin, Feb. 26. Events in Tokyo have caused a considerable sensation and have been splashed on the front pages of the newspapers. The Deutsche Allgemeine-Zeitung suggests the re-arming of Soviet- Russla may have played a part in causing the revolt. The Berliner Tageblatt attributes the putsch to the Internal politi- cal situation, and partly to the imperialistic tendency directed
·against Moscow. The Nazi Angriff believes the tense relations between the armed forces and politicians responsible for the revoltRouter Special.
