"'Thre pact of neutrality between the Soviet government and Japan was concluded April 13, 1941, that is before the attack by Germany on the USSR and before the out break of war between Japan on the one hand and Great Britain and the United States on the other.
 "'Since then the situation has radically changed.
 Germany invaded the U. s. s. R. and Japan, an ally of Germany, is helping the latter in its war against the US.S.A.
 "'In addition Japan Is at war against Great Britain and the U. s. A. who are allies of the Soviet Union. In such a situation the neutrality pact between Japan and the U.S.S.R. has lost its meaning and the prolongation of this pact is becoming impossible.
 "'On the strength of this and in accordance with article three of the aforementioned pact, providing for the right of denunciation one year prior to the expiration of the i've year term of the pact the Soviet government hereby declares to the government of Japan it's desire to cancel the pact of April B, 1941.
 "The Japanese ambassador, MT. Sato, promised to inform the Japa- nese government about the state- ment of the Soviet government"
 The Russian action had been pre- ceded by a number of indications that the pact would not be contin- ued. Speculation at the point was raised immediately when the Yalta conference announced the meeting of the United States at San Fran cisco, strategicany located on the Pacific, on April 25. the day follow ing the due date of the Russo -Japa- neSe pact.
 The Soviet press, taking an in- creasingly stern line with the Japa- nese, had provided another clue as had the action of Marshal Stalin in denouncing the Japanese as ag- gressors in his October revolution address last November.
