u. S. Approaching War,
Japanese Paper Says

TOXIC, May 20 Jp.-The United
States has approached one step
nearer to participation in the war"
through President Roosevelt's dec
laration Of an unlimited state Of
emergency, the widely circulated
newspaper Nichi Nichi declared to-
day.
The Presidents indication, in his
broadcast Of last night, that further
American aid would be given to
China, drew fire from the -newspa-
pers Hochi and Chugai Shogyo.
'In so far as Japan is concerned
great importance should be attached
to the Roosevelt policy In strength
ening aid to the Chungking regime"
Hochi said.
Asserting that Germany had made
no hostile move toward the United
States, Chugai Shogyo added that
the United States policy toward
Chungking was "disagreeable" and
could not possibly be made to con-
form with Japan's policy.
The most significant part of the
speech as far as Japan was con-
cerned seemed to be that the Pacific
Ocean situation was not stressed.
which might indicate that confer
ences between Ambassador Joseph
Grew and Foreign Minister Yosuke
MatSuoka and between Matsuoka
and Maj. Gen. Eugene OFT, German
Ambassador, are of far greater i'm
portance that is indicated on the
surface.
Other recent Roosevelt speeches
have mentioned the Pacific and Ja-
pan more prominently.
Virtually all issues on the Toxic
stock market doomed. apparently
indicating general belief in finan-
cial circles that the speech con-
tanned little to upset Japanese
American trade relations.

automatically exclude American
goods from the world market.
1t insisted that Germany Is only
too willing to carry on commerce
with the entire world" and that Eu-
ropean markets would be able to
absorb immense quantities Of Amer
lean products IF Washington's pol
icy were q more helpful and realistic
one"
But Mr.. Roosevelt's economic
policy of burning SURPRISES or dump
ing them into the sea or of creating
artificial shortages by various types
of control systems, designed to main
tain a capitalistic economy of
scarcity, can hardly be called help
full or INTELLIGENT"
