TOKYO, Aug. T. - A spokesman for the Japanese Foreign Office ridicules a dispatch published by the New York Herald Tribune stat ing that Japan is providing finan- cial aid to General Juan AlmaZan the leader of the opposition party in Mexico.

 The Foreign Office spokesman also said that negotiat tions for a general agreement between Japan and the Chinese Government of Wang Ching Wei are progressing will be signed in the near future. will be signed in the neau future. The Wang Ching Wei government is considered in international cir cles to be Japanese puppet or ganization.
