FIFTH COLUMN IN
 TOKYOBEFORE WAR
Planting of Information That Was Untrue; Old
 Nazi Plan Carried Out
RY II. o. THOMPSON

Washington, Dec, le-(UP)-A Japanese fifth column operated in Tokyo Itself before the war and had as its purpose the planting" Of misleading information regarding JapanS economic strength among foreign diplomats,
 Its operations were revealed in information reaching Washington today. It was designed to lull of ficlalS of the United States and Great Britain into Q feeling Of false security but succeeded only in arousing suspicion,
 Word was passed along through various channels in Tokyo which might be expected to lead eventual ly to the British and American em- haSsies, asserting that highly placed Japanse were in despair over Ja- pans economic position, that re- serve supplies had been all but eX- hausted and that Japan had become so weak she was unable to continue feeding and supplying her armies in China.
 The information further asserted that Japan was in no position to risk war with either the United States or Britain and was prepared to so to almost any lengths to avoid 1t.
 Doubt of the authenticity of the information was caused by the knowledge that one person instru- mental in ferrying the information along to foreign ears was known to have Nazi connections.
 Old Maxi Tactics
 The use of such tactics by Nazi officials had been established pre- viously iTp Tokyo, where in one case 8 news story appearing in a lead- ing newspaper was traced directly to the German embassy.
 That story had a Batavia date and declared in large type that an expeditionary force of 25,00O Britt igh soldiers had been landed in the Netherlands East Indies and was being maintained there in secret" base.
 The article excited Japanese pub- lie opinion and increased anti-Brit- ish feeling.
 The reading public in Tokyo did not realize that Batavia was exer- cising a strict censorship and that such a story could not possibly have emananted from there. The British. checking quietly, found that the newspaper in question never had re- caIyed such a telegram from any source. Later the British establish e6 that the story was e fabrication q 0elman p1epaaandisls.
