Japan gets quantities of oil from the Dutch Indies and shutting off of this supply might bring about a drastic change in the Far | Eastern situation. Freezing of as- !sets and credits by the Dutch In- dies may mean suspension of oil deliveries. Make Appeal Japanese broadcasting stations in Tokyo yesterday made an appeal to the United States to ‘“reconsider” its attitude toward the French- Japanese joint co-defense pact for Indo-Chian and retaliating by both the United States and Great Brit- ; ain in freezing Japanese assets and credits. Japan has retaliated by freezing American and British assets in Japan. While Japanese Sunday news- papers warned against possible !wnruke consequences of American |economic measures against Japan, | Nobumi Ito, president of the Japa- inese board of information, in a nation-wide radio address declared: “If the United States refuses to understand Japan’s real inten- itions and is now bent on taking measures _to .exert .pressure .on Japan, the conclusion is inevita- Ible that it is the United States government that disturbs the peace. | The respensibility rests entirely with that government.” | TIto coupled his plea for Amer- can “reconsideration” with an ex- hortation to the Japanese people |to “remain” calm.” | The authoritive newspaper Ni- |chi Nichi, meanwhile, warned that the United States “may be con- |fronted with a perilious situation | fraught with the danger of war if | economic steps aimed at Japan continue. | President Roosevelt’s order frecz- ing Japanese assets was declared by the newspaper Asahi to be “part of an Anglo-American policy to check Japan in the southwestern Pacific.” “This, said the paper, no | longer an econcmic preoblem | which could be dealt with eco- | momically, but provckes the fun- | damental determination of the i Japanese pecple. President | Ronscvelt should remember that all efforts by the United States | to check rising nations have so far proved dismal failures.” Forging ahead stubbornly toward her proclaimed objectives in Indo- China and elsewhere in the Far East, Japan yesterday decreed the i freezing, beginning today, of the ‘assets held in the Japanese Empire {by interests of the United States, American territories and Britain. ! The concerted economic meas- |ures taken by the United States iand Britain in freezing Japanese |assets were officially stated in To- kyo to have come as no surprise to |steps to minimize the effects. The emperor called a meeting of his privy council, the nation’s high- est administrative body, today |when the immobilization- of Amer- ican and British assets took effect. | At the same ‘time, it was learned United States Ambassador Joseph Grew conferred with Toyoda three |times within twenty-four hours. Under the freezing order issued by finance Minister Ogura, Amer- |ican and British Nationals, effect- |ive today, receive permission from |the Japanese finance ministry to |obtain more than 500 yen (approx- |imately $115) per month in the |Japanese Empire. Disposition of all' real estate ‘holdings, personal and other prop- |erties held by these nationals, it was ordered, will be under the rigid control of the finance minis- try. These include debt payments, financial loans, trust transactions or any other cash or credit deal- ings involving more than 500 yen monthly. ———.—— L BUY DEFENSE BONDS ‘ Come in dodasy!
