JAPS DENY SPYING + ONU, S.IN PACIFIC

| Navy Office Says Area Is Far Too Vast.

TOKYO, April 8 (U. P).—The Japanese Navy Office denied in part today a copyrighted article in the - New York World-Telegram which +» had described Japanese espionage in the United States. “The Japanese are carrying on no spying-activities in the ‘Pacific - triangle,’ which is entirely too vast to bg covered,” the statement said. . “The Japanese conscription law naturally produces many reservists, who after leaving the Navy work in department stores, on farms and in

the fishing industry. Naturally we |: take sailors from the fishing groups, |

for training, wherever possible. “When their naval service is fin- - ished they return to their former - employment. Most likely, therefore, . there are many reservists in any * fishing fleet. However, they are not

assigned, controlled, or paid by the a

Navy during peacetime.”
