Foreign, War, and Finance Ministers Removed
 from Offices NIPPON DEFEATS
 GIVEN AS CAUSE Enlarged War Campaign in China Is Expected
 to Result

TOKYO, May 26. = A drastic shakeup in the Japanese Cabinet today was marked by the busting of three high officials.
 Those busted were Koki Hirota, famed Foreign Minister; General Gen Sugiyama, War Minister, and Okinobu Kaya, Finance Minister.
 The upheaval indicated that the military clique of Japan had strengthened its hold on the Gov ernment.
 Lieutenant Seishiro Itagaki, vet eran of the China war, is the new War Minister.
 Seihin Ikeda has been named Fin ance Minister.
 General Kazushige Ugaki has been named Foreign Minister
 General Sadao Araki. sabre rat tling former War Minister, has been named Minister of Education.
 Araki and Ugaki are the two most powerful militarists in Japan.
 It is generally believed the shake up means more vigorous prosecu- tion of the war in China.
 The recent defeat of the Japanese at Taierchwang is held to be the ma- jor contributing factor to the re- organization of the Cabinet.
