WAS OBLIGED TO DO so TO PRESERVE HONOR
Npponese Alliance with the English Nation Compelled Action
UpoR Being Summoned TO the Teutons Supremacy
in the Far East at a Distant Date Was Regarded -
Menace and Good Motive for War

Toxic, Sept. 5.-The statement to
the diet regarding the conflict with
Germany, made today by Baron Kato,
minister of foreign affairs, follows:
Early in August the British gov
ernment asked the imperial govern
ment for assistance under the terms
of the Anglo-Japanese alliance.
Therefore, inasmuch as she was
asked by her ally for assistance at a
time when the commerce Of eastern
Asia, which Japan and Great Britain
regarded alike as one Of their special
interests, was subjected to constant
menace, Japan, which regards that al
lance as the guiding principle of her
foreign policy, could not but comply
with the request to DO her part
Germans possession of a base for
powerful activities in one corner of the
far east was not only serious OBJ
stable to the maintenance of perman-
anent peace, but it also conflicted with
the immediate interests of the Japan
ese empire, Baron Kato explained.
After imperial sanction had been
obtained resolution was communicate
ed to the British government and
full and frank exchange of views be-
tween the two governments followed.
| 1t was finally agreed between them to
take such action as was necessary TO
protect their general interests as con-
templated by the agreement of their
alliance Japan had no desire or in
clination to become involved in the
present conflict, only believing that
she owed it to herself to be faithful to
her alliance and strengthen its foun-
dation by insuring peace in the east
and protecting the special interests
of the two allied powers.
Desiring. however, to solve the sit,
ration by pacific means, the imperial
government on August Is gave the fol
flowing advice to the German govern
ment:
tHere Baron Kato read the text Of
the ultimatum communicated to Ger
many on that date)
until the last moment of the time
allowed. on August %, the imperial
government received no answer and
thus the imperial decree declaring wal
was issued the next day. When the
= relations between Japan and Germany
reached the point of rupture, the i'm
:. perial government asked the American
i. government, IL the case demanded
