A
Japaiis Attitude
Toward the U. S
An Important Interview With the New
Japanese Ambassador
UNDAY'S PUBLIC LEDGER will contain a
striking interview with the new Japanese
Ambassador, His Excellency Aimaro Sato.
In emphatic terms the Ambassador makes it clear
that the maintenance of friendly relations with
the United States is a "fundamental tenet" of Japan's
foreign policy and not a mere matter of expediency.
And he goes even further. He ridicules the talk of
Japan's commercial rivalry with America, showing
conclusively that America is Japan's best customer
the one country with which Japan cannot afford to
wage a commercial war.
f
The interview is the clearest expression of Japanese,
policy toward the United States published within the"
past year. It appears exclusively in
"i
.. SUNDAY'S .
