PARIS, Nov. 24.—Japan is willing i
to send a strong army to Europe any j
time that a situation arises wltereln |
they may be needed. The Tokyo cor- 1
respondent of I.e Petit Parlesien says j
in a cable to his paper today that a
statement to this effect is credited to
liaron Ishli, the Japanese foreign min
ister.
The correspondent also states that
it is well understood in Japanese offl
elm circles that Japan is expected to i
come to the assistance of the allies
whenever there is need for her services. |
According to the T’arlesien report j
Baron Ishii is quoted as saying "If j
needed, Japan will immediately send,
in one expedition, a very strong army.
Japan does not intend to risk a check
if once drawn into action.” The for
eign minister is also quoted as saying
that only one-third of the total number
of men mobilized by Russia for her
army has thus far been armed but that
by the end of the coming month Japan
will have done much toward arming
completely the remaining two thirds.
