Neutrality
Out—Japan
Tells Reds
TOKYO (N) --Japan gave the
cold shoulder yesterday to a So
viet demand for neutrality, latest
'move in the Communist campaign
to win Asia's biggest industrial
power away from the West.
Prime Minister Nobusuke Kishi
and Foreign Minister Aiichiro Fu
jiyama told a conference of gov
ernors that Japan's security pact
with the United States must he
revised and reaffirmed to safe
guard the nation.
That appeared to be the posi
tion Japan will take in reply to a
note from Moscow Monday de
manding that this island nation
get rid of all for e i g n military
bases and hew to a policy of
neutrality.
Kishi discussed the Soviet note
with his Cabinet, and told news
men he will send a formal reply
to Moscow.
The security pact gives the Uni
ted States the right to maintain
military bases here. It is the tar
get of Communist attack now be
cause it is being renegotiated.
In note after note in the past
11 months, in hundreds of editor
ials and radio broadcasts, in am
bassadorial speeches, and in cock
tail party chitchat, Moscow and
Peiping have hit the lame theme:
Japan must become neutral in
the East-West cold war.
