Japanese Interest TOKYO. May 16 The Anglo- .Soviet agreement will be directed ngainst the anti-Comintern Powers, declares the entire Japanese press, which, express the belief that the two Powers will come to some arrangement for mutual assistance.

Pointing out that Japan is vitally Interested in any step taken by Russia, the papers declare that Japan neither & democracy nor a totalitarian State, but her attitude towards an Anglo-Soviet pack would be determined by her membership in the anti-Comintern group.

Sees Throat To Japan

The "Asahi Shimbun" recalls the Foreign Minister's remark on May that Japan cannot overlook Britain's efforts to co-operate with Moscow, either

in its effect on the Far East or Europe.

Earller experiences and the present situation convince Japan, according to the papers, that further streng- thening of the anti-Comintern pact is

.necessary.

The conclusion of an Anglo- Turkish pact is also described as a further step in the British policy of encirclement against Germany and Italy, but both "Nishi Nishi" and the "Asahi Shimbun" declare that the success of British policy is only temporary, the latter pointing out that the strong economic relations between Turkey and Germany will probably keep Turkey from being drawn completely into the democratic front.-Trans-Ocean,”

M. Daladier und M. Bonnet plan to discuss this question with Lord Inlifax.

Definito Progress

LONDON, May 10-The riddle provided by Soviet diplomacy has deepened with the announcement that M. Maisky, the Soviet Ambao- sador to London, will go to Geneva instead of M. Potemkin.

It is inalsted, however, that this action
