BRITAIN DESIRES EXPLANATION OF ADMIRAL'S WORDS
London, Jan. 5. The interview of Admiral Nobumasa Suetsugu, newly-appointed Home Minister, which has just been reported here, has caused a sensation.
It is reported that Great Britain promptly demanded an explanation from the Japanese Ambassador, Mr. Shigeru Yoshida. The Foreign Office and Mr. Yoshida's representative both deny this, however.
There is no confirmation of the report that Sir Robert Craigie, British Ambassador to Tokyo, has been instructed to inquire in Japan whether the interview is genuine.
