REPLY To JAPS
By International News Service


A. decision will be made in the
next few days as to whether the
United States will make a state
ment in connection with Japan's
explanation of it's "hands off"
China declaration.
American officials privately felt
that despite the more conciliatory
tone of Tokyo's explanatory state
ment, Japan intends to assume as
much guardianship over China as
it possibly can.
Furthermore, the feeling pre-
vailed the Japanese official state
ment, while leaving little on which
western powers might base a for
NAL diplomatic protest, still left
the question of Japan's intentions
in China wide open.
Japan was seen as trying to
avoid any controversy with the
western powers over the nine
power Pacific pact at the present
time in view of the hostile nature
Of the unofficial reaction abroad
to the recent "hands-off" China
manifesto.
