Good Morning, Meteor National

Mr. Hirola declined to commit. himself on the question whether Japan was likely to denounce lie Nine Power Pact in the near future. He emphasised the maintenance of the open door principle In China. The fundamental policy of the Japanese Government, he declared, was that differential revision of tariffs by the Provisional Government of North Chinn was unavoidable and indispensable. He saw no immediate likelihood of an exchange control tow being enacted the Japanese occupied areas in China. He gave an assurance that Japan would con- unue to protect third Power com- mercial Interests in China. He ex- pressed the opinion that the "Re- novation Government" of Central China appeared to have no intention ut present of establishing a bank similar to the Federal Reserve Bank of North China and voleed the hope that Japanese imports into China would shortly pay normal Customs dues.

in

QUESTION AND ANSWER

The principal questions and

answers were:

During the recent Diet Your Ex- cellency stated that the Nine-Power Pact would be denounced on a suit- able occasion. Is that occasion likely to occur in the near future?-Whether the Nine-Power Treaty will be denounced in the near future cannot be predicted at this time. However, the fact must be recognised that the Treaty was concluded 16 years ago under circumstances which were different from those now Calling

in China and the Fur Enst. Even China herself, for whose benent the Treaty was intended, ex- pressed opposition at the time of its conclusion because of its treatment of Chinn

on a semi-colonial basis. After its conclusion it has been China herself which has consistently violated the vital provisions of the Treaty.

Replying to another question, Mr. Hirota said that it was a fundamental polley of the Japanese Government to continue the polley of the open door In the occupied territory in China. In fact she had long been striving to get this principle put inta practice by the National Govern- ment, which, contrary to their treaty obligations, resurted to various methods of discrimination against Japan. Other Powers would con- tinue to enjoy equal right to trade and

in the development of the natural resources of the occupied territory, for the economle develop- ment of which foreign capital was very desirable.

"The new regimes in Peiping and Nenking will, I believe, take all appropriate measures for the pro- tection and smooth development of foreign economic interests In their territories," Mr. Hirota added.

As to the conditions under which Japan would agree to a cessation of hostilities, Mr. Hirola Bald, "I would say that since the present confict has been caused, both directly and indirectly, by anti-Japanese acts on the part of China, a definite cess- tlon of such acts and a pledge against their repetition in the future must constitute the primary conditions for a cessation of hostilities,
