ultimatum served on Germany by ia
pan is looked on here in the best in
formed quarter as a brilliant stroke Of
diplomacy from the Japanese stand

tiers in the country the action Of Japan
will be regarded as ominous with re-
spect to the United States to the flu
ture of the Philippines and future dom

But for the present, If the views of
the state department are correct, there
is no reason for the United States be-
ing involved in the situation and it's
interests will not be involved directly

one between Germany and Japan. ia

striking, according to information here.
