TOKYO — Kumataro Honda, <
former Ambassador to Germany '
j was appointed Ambassador to I
Nanking succeeding former Pro- ]
i mier Nobuyuki Ab1?. He was sel- 1
j ected by Foreign Minister Yos- .;
uke Matsuoka because the latter
| considers him an expert on Chin- i
\ ese affairs. The press recognizes ;
th? appointment as one of first-1,
, rate importance because of Mr.
Honda’s forceful qualities, rela
tions with the fighting services,
and imperialist opinions.
“When a man of Mr. Honda’s
caliber goes to China the Japan
e e Embassy in Nanking will be
come the headquarters of Japan’s
Chinese policy and Japan’s East
Aha policies will gradually be
carried out, says the newspaper
Asahi. ,
Mr. Honda who is 67 years old,
n signed from the diplomatic ser
vice in 1926 and has been extrem
ely active behind the scenes. Re
garded as an able but bitter con
troversialist, he has been a vig
orous advocate of the pro-Axis
policy and a ruth'ess opponent of
efforts to conciliate the United
States and Britain. He demands a
■ strong policy toward the United
States, which he believe “bluffs”
Japan with diplomatic threats”
because, h; declares, “the United
States has neither the confidence
nor the power to command the
respect of Nippon.”
Predicted Britain’s Fall
Those remarks were madp by
Mr. Honda in the newspaper
Nichi Nachi in September. He
then predicted that Britain could
. not hold out a month. He expect
ed that Germany would di'mand
the surrender of the British
Navy, the British colonies’ over
seas investment and an asiro
n: mieal idemnity and that the
British Empire would ‘“face a
fate similar to that which befell
th. Netherlands Indies and Indo
China.”
Outlining Japanese policy to
waid the United States, Mr. Hon
da urged retaliation and repris
al for the abrogation of the
trade treaty and said that “if
Japanese dip omats had had the
courage and foresight to take re
' taliatory m asures, they would
have crippled America’s muni
tions and non-muntions indus
tries.” He explained that this,
eouid be done if Japan exercis
ed her belligerent rights “by cut
ting off Chinese exports of tung
sti n and tung oil, both of which
America needs badly.”
“If America's attitude was not n
changed, we could use our Navy r
to block tiie traffic in Nether- r
lands Indies rubber and tin,” he h
added. Japan had made a mis
take in not claiming belligi rent -
rights, he contended. Had this a
been done, he asserted Secretary t
of State Cordell Hull’s protests f
about closing the Burma Road
and Indo-China would not have v
