Noting the report with aston­
ishment, Mr. Ide made the follow­
ing statement:
“Regarding the news which had
been published in the Continental
Times that I had discussed priv­
ately the repatriation issue with
the Deputy Minister of Foreign
Affairs, I wish to state most em­
phatically that this statement is
not true.
“At no time did I discuss any
ma Iters pertaining to the repatriation issue with any member
or members of the Japanese
Forgein Office in Tokyo. Nor did
I discuss this issue with any per­
son at any time.
“On August 6th, 1958, six mem­
bers from the Foreign Office and
sis members of the. UNESCO
Mission, including myself, had a
luncheon meeting at Hanezawa
Garden where matters such as the
JCCA’s policy on immigration,
culture,
education,
economics,
were discussed.
“I believe, in future, if any
such information is received from
any Japanese Association in Ja­
pan, a thorough investigation
should be made by the publisher
before it is made public.”
