a secret undisclosed agreement be-
tween England and Japan must have
existed. This appeared to be the ONLY
explanation of the astounding hun
dred days that we have just passed
through.
While from the Japanese side only
semiofiicial statements are available
CONCERNING certain changes In de-

the Japanese minister. DR.. Hioki, is
proceeding 10 Tokyo to report full
agreement.
