Tokyo, Dec. 14.-(AE --Authorita-

to drive wedge D. .wean the United
States and Great Britain, had decided
to follow a strong" policy toward
both.
Tho summoning home of United
States Ambassador Nelson Johnson of
China and the visit of Anthony Eden,
former British foreign secretafp to
the United States were interpreted
here as certain signs of open Anglo
American cooperation against Japan.
The government failed to give the
final word" on it's new China policy
last Sunday, as scheduled. An i'm
perial conference was said to have
determined this policy two weeks ago
and Premier Prince Konoye had been
scheduled to make it public in a
broadcast.
The broadcast was cancelled at the
eleventh hour, however, the reasons
given being that the premier was ill
with influenza. 1t now has been post

Deputies quoted Bonnet as saying
he had told German Foreign Minist-

termination when the Nazi leader Wis
tied Paris last week to sign the
French-German friendship accord
He was told. as was Foreign N2n ST

not give up any of her empire.
Bonnet quoted Won Ribbentrop as
replying that Germany was mot in

Tuesday Evening

London, Dec. 14-(AP)-Prime Min
lister Chamberlain served notice in
the House of Commons today that any
Italian aggression toward French
Tunisia would be matter of grave
concern" to the British government.
He made the statement in reply to
a question whether undertakings in
respect of the status quo in the Medi-
terranean as embodied in the British
Italian agreement applied to Tunis"
While he spoke, anger grew in
parliamentary circles over an unusual
Nazi rebuff last night when German
diplomats and newsmen boycotted a
dinner at which Chamberlain spoke.
simultaneously, Dr. Hjalmar Schacht
president of the German iReichbank,
arrived in London for economic talks
Chamberlain declared before Com
mons that certainly" the status quo
agreement applied to Tunisia.
Meanwhile, the Nazi vacant chair
rebuke to Chamberlain for criticism
of the German press headed for House
of Commons debate, amid speculation
whether a positive barrier was de-
veloping to full peace understandings
between the two countries. The Labor
party drafted a question to the House
for explanation today of the absence
of the German ambassador and Nazi
press representatives from the foreign
press association dinner
This likely will be followed by re-
