TOKYO. - July 1 - .(HE) Premier rnnce jrumim&ro Konoye told me in. an exclusive Interview that Japan's alliance ' with Germany an4 Italy was purely of a ;de-fensive ;de-fensive nature" and added he saw .rao reason" why .the United States and -Japan could not remain re-main on friendly terms. The interview took y place at the premier's private residence while I was making a "hewsreei of . him. Officials , were arriving: in a steady -stream - to - discuss Japan's policy in view of the Russo-German war, but he kept them waiting while he posed for the film. In response to a direct quea- . tion whether the new international situation might alter Japanese-American Japanese-American relations, Konoye said: "We are very anxious to maintain main-tain friendship with the United States." ' The German-Japanese alliance w designed to keep the United States from becoming involved in the European war," he said in excellent English. "The tri-partite pact's purpose is of a defensive nature. I want the United States to understand its spirit". "I see no reason why the two countries can not remain friendly," friend-ly," Konoye added. Konoye said, however, the world situation was "delicate, wherefore where-fore I am unable to say muc'n."
