Mutsuoku's Visit to Moscow
japanese May Not Get Same Promise
From Russiu Thut Was Given to Turkey

March, 1885, to be retroceded to Rus
sia. 8. The southern part of the is
land of Saghalin, taken from Russia
in 1905 under the Treaty of Ports
mouth, to be returned to her.
Caught in the grip of her imperial
ist scheme, Japan, needless to say
could not comply with such requests.
But the very fact that they were
put forward must have convinced
her leaders that they had better
not lose sight of the Russian menace.
1t may be argued that the claims
expressed by the Kremlin need not
be interpreted as more than dip
lomatic maneuver, that the Russians
do not seriously plan to enforce
them, that their main idea was to be
provided with ready pretext to
elude Hitler's offer. But they are
bound to keep their interlocutors
wondering about their real motives,
and all the odds are that, in Mos
COW, the voluble Japanese Foreign
Minister will not get much enlight-
enment.
At any rate, he will not be given
the kind of promise obtained by the
Turks, which enables the Turks to
rely on Russian neutrality in a war
with Germany.
Full Guarantees.
Then, it is possible to perceive
what will be Matsuoka's attitude
when Hitler reminds him that
Japan must fulfill her obligation
under the September treaty. pos
sibly to the extent of regarding the
United States an enemy power, fol-
lowing the enforcement of the Lease
Lend Act. He is sure to reserve his
answer until Japan has been fully
guaranteed by the other signatories
against Russian designs.
In short, he will explain that
Japan cannot even afford to con-
template incurring the risk of a
clash with America as long as Ger
many is not formally pledged to hold
back Russia in all circumstances.
Hitler is not likely to antagonize
Russia in a juncture where, more
than ever, he wants it to remain
outside the ring But even assuming
he overrules in that respect all con-
slderations of prudence, he would
set such a higher price on the serv-
ice required from him as to make
Japan see in the Russian danger
the lesser of two evils.

verSationS of MatSuoka in their true
perspective, it is necessary to go back
to Premier Molotoff's visit to Adolf
Hitler. Through him, Hitler urged
the Soviet Union formally to adhere
to the tripartite treaty Of Septem-
Der 27, 1910, the corner stone of the
new order" in Europe and in Asia.
Josef Stain and his advisers did
not want to tie their hands. Their
answer to the Fuehrer's minatory
proposal was that its acceptance by
them could not but be made con-
ditional on the previous conclusion
of Russo-Japanese settlement.
Then followed between the two gov
ernments concerned, in Moscow and
Toxic, an exchange of views which,
of course, was kept secret. The
Japanese Ministers, having to carry
out a full-f1edged program of inn
perial expansion southwark, we're
only too willing TO come to terms
with their Western neighbor, the
only great power in position to
direct its air forces to bomb Japa-
neSe cities.
