TRADE BARRIER
NOT PLANNED,
SAYS SA|TO
Declaration of Policy Toward
China Aimed at European
Power, Envoy Claims
Bv KINGsBURY SMITH

News Service)

news SerV1ceD
Japan has no intention Of clos
ing the "open door" trade policy
In the Orient or of interfering in
any way whatsoever with Amer
ica's commercial relations with
China, Japanese Ambassador
Hirosi Saito informed Interna-
tional News Service today.
Furthermore, Ambassador Saito,
in an exclusive interview, disclosed
Japan's declaration Of policy to-
ward China was not directed
against the United States, but
against one of the big European
powers which Tokyo learned was
about to make q large political
loan to China.
This loan was to be used to es-
tablish a Chinese governmental
bank which, in turn, would seek
loans from other foreign powers,
ostensibly to finance the economic
rehabilitation Of China.
Diversion Feared
Japan, Ambassador Saito said,
feared the money ultimately would
be diverted to military purposes.
He said Japan already had re-
oeived evidence indicating the
Chinese had utilized part Of the
American governmental cotton
and wheat loan for these purposes.
Indications were the Chinese
government was reSelling the
cotton and wheat obtained from
this Government with loans ad-
vanced by the RFC and using
the proceeds for military expen-
ditureS, he added.
Japan, he said, had no objec-
ton to the United States or any
other country loaning or giving
money or supplies to China, pro-
vided such aid was used solely
for the relief Of famine or to
help the civilian population.
However, Mr.. Saito said, Japan
feels that when loans are made
to China, even of wheat and cot
ton, there is no security that the
proceeds will not be used for
military purposes:
With regard to the sale Of
military aircraft and munitions to
China, Mr.. Saito said Japan fears
these weapons eventually will be
used against her and for that
reason is reluctant to- see them
sold to the Chinese SIS
Control Needed
Japan, he asserted, would have
no objection to China maintain
ing an adequate defense force If
that force was under control Of
. responsible government.
However, he said, there are half
. dozen factions fighting for con-
troll in China. many Of them Of
0 communiStic nature; there is
no surety how long one govern
ment may last, and there is Seri-
Gus risk of powerful weapons Of
war falling into the hands Of ir-
responsible or fanatical groups.
Tl.is, he said, was the principal
reason why Japan disliked to see
American aviation experts teach
ing the Chinese how to handle
such dangerous weapons as bomb
ing airplanes.

CIRCUS CONTINUES
 TO PACK 'EM' IN
Thousands Have Acclaifn- ed Its POpularity-Only
 Three Days Remain

Is Waterbury circus-minded? Interested readers will find the an- swer, and incidentally a most in- teresting answer, by paying visit to the state armory tonight, to- morrow or Saturday. The Grotto Circus is the big attraction on the drill floor and if attendance means anything 1t is the most popular event Waterbury has experienced in years. Imagine 2,000 people be- ing turned away in one evening. It had happened last night and promoters of other affairs are won- dering if the sure guide to success will not be found in the future in sponsoring circuses.
 Of course there is only one Grotto circus. With May Wirth and her famous family of eouestrians, Miacawa, the internationally famed Mexican wire walker, the Flying Campbells, who organized here some years ago, platoon of clowns and an assortment of an- imal acts that rivals the greatest show on earth, there is no mys- tery about the crowds.
 The children's matinees are as we'll attended as the evening per- formances and the youngsters are getting big kick out of their visit.
