DOESN'T Think JAPANESE
WILL PUT ARMY IN FIELD
Secretary of Embassy Here Says
Country Would Have Moth
ing to Gain.

While We have heard officially moth
ing on the subject, said Secretary
Matsuoka of the Japanese embassy at
noon today, discussing the rumor of
the possibility of Japan sending troops
TO the aid of England and France In the
protection of Paris, Il may say it re-
quires no denial on our part. because
1t is too absurd.
What have We to gain? Just ask
yourself that question, and you will
see the absurdity of such a course. We
are simply acting on the Anglo-Japa-
nese treaty and will confine our actions
to the east.
