Jap Newspapers Blame the U.S. For Encirclement
TOKYO, Oct. 8 (AP) - Newspapers, striking the same chord in critical comment against the United States, blamed Washington for what was called strengthening the spread of encirclement of Japan and said the Pacific situation is deteriorating.
Nichi Nichi, in a page one editorial, said "Japan is earnestly trying to remove the Pacific cancer by Premier Konoye's personal message to President Roosevelt, delivered August 28. However, the Pacific situation is going from bad to worse and it can not be said what will happen next." The paper asserted that the United States is evidently aiming to include Russia in the American - British - Chinese and Dutch encirclement by sending oil and planes. This irritated the Japanese who now must expect any development and prepare for the consequences.
