Domei, the Japanese official

drawal of the negotiators "now
is a mere question of time."

were represented as favorable
to continuing the negotiations
with lesser officials holding the
contrary view.
The newspaper Yomiuri said
the Japanese government had
been asked by its rcprcsntatives
engaged in the economic negotia

The Tokyo press blamed Brit
ain and the United Stales for
failure of the East Indies to meet
Japanese demands for a greater
share of their tin, oil and rubber
resources, but governmental
sources maintained a reserved
attitude toward the situation."
