Hirohito Designates
Gen. Abe as Premier
To Form New Cabinet
Retired Army Leader Is
Moderate; Nozi-Soviet
Pact Gusts Hironumu
By the Associated Press.

TOXIC. Aug. 28-A retired army
leader. Gen. Nobuyuki Abe. today
was designated by Emperor Hirohito
to form new cabinet, replacing
that of Premier Baron Kiichiro
Hiranuma, which resigned as a re-
suit of the German-Soviet non
aggression pact
After receiving the imperial man
date, Gen. Abe, considered a mod
crate politically, left the palace at
10 pm. t9 am. E. S. IT, to begin
the task of building a new govern
ment.
The summons to Gen Abe, former
acting war minister, came shortly
after Hiranumas resignation was
submitted while Japan kept her at
tention on Soviet Russia for any
major move against Manchukuo or
North China.
Numerous consultations among
key cabinet ministers led to the be-
lief the new cabinet would be formu-
lated swiftly to lead the nation
through what japanese consider a
critical period.
Gen. Abe's Emergence Sudden.
The emergence of Gen. Abe after
three years retirement was sudden
since he was not mentioned in ini-
tial cabinet speculation during the
current crisis. Newspapers had
turned their attention to him, how
ever, in the last two days, reviewing
the career of the 64-year-old gen.
eral who resigned from the Supreme
War Council after the attempted
military coup of February 26. 1896
Gen. Abe pronounced ah-beh
without accenD was described
authol1tatively as favoring Jap
anese friendship with the United
States and Great Britain.
He is a follower of Gen. Kazushige
Ugaki, a pronounced liberal and
advocate of friendship with the
two powers, who currently is in
disfavor with the army extremists
Informed Japanese said Gen. Abe
once belonged to a group which
favored a Japanese-Soviet Russian
non-aggression pact.
The appointment of an army man
as Premier was not taken to mean
necessarily that the government
would be a military one. Gen. Abe
has been retired since 1896.
Off1cial reports, meanwhile, said
Italian Ambassador Giacinto Auriti
had called on Foreign Minister
Hachiro Arita with assurances that
the German-Soviet pact would not
alter Italian-Japanese friendship
Japanese sources said the anti-Co-
mintern agreement, in which Japan
Germany and Italy have been
linked, was not mentioned.
Hiranuma told the Japanese press
Japan's diplomatic about-face re-
sulting from European events

sian non-aggression pact-necessi-
tated the governments resignation
Domei, Japanese news agency
predicted that since the entire cab
met took the responsibility for the
old foreign policy (symbolized by the
Japanese-German-Italian anti-com-
intern pact none of the present
government would be reappointed.
Russia = Concern.
Many Japanese obviously were
worried as to whether Russia, tax
ing advantage Of her isolation from
the present European crisis through
the pact with Germany, might at
tempt to hamper Japan on the
Asiatic continent.

Mr.. ChamDerlaln had an
audience with King George late
in the day. The King earlier
received the war minister, Leslie
ore-Belisha.
Despite earlier indication that the
British government might publish
for Tuesday morning newspapers
the exchange of communications
with Germany, it subsequently ap-
peared unlikely that Sir Neville
would be able both to reach Berlin
and obtain an interview with Hitler
in time for such step. Therefore
any public exposition of the pre-
else British position seemed to
await Mr.. Chamberlain statement
to Parliament Tuesday afternoon.
Historic Document.
Circumstances led to a general
belief in diplomatic quarters that
the British message would prove to
be an historic document intended
both to impress Hitler and the whole
world.
The unanimity of the British
press on what the British govern
ment should tell Hitler at this crit
ical hour indicated the cabinet had
decided to stand firm on the policy
already laid down by Prime Minister
Chamberlain.
This is: Poland and Germany
must themselves negotiate any set
tlement of their dispute; Poland is
ready to negotiate on basis of COM
plete equality and when the threat
of force is removed; Great Britain
is ready to help create favorable
conditions for a general European
settlement, if Germany will make
her contribution; but, finally, if
Poland has to resist any vital
threat to her independence, Great
Britain will be at her side imme-
diately.
Tension Considered Some.
A source close to the government
indicated Britain did not regard
Hitler's publication of his letter
to Premier Daladier of France,
embodying a fiat demand for Dan
zig and Pomorze the Polish corri-
dor), either as heightening or les
sening the present crisis.
In general, it was understood, the
Hitler message to Britain covered,
besides the immediate question of
Poland, the broader issue of future
German British relations. 1t was
said to be somewhat more inclusive
than the Fuehrers letter to NJ
Daladier.
Britain's position, the authorita-
tive London Times said editorially
today, Gould hardly be better
stated than in the weekend mes
sage to the German people" issued

Would Discuss Many Questions.
The Times commented, There is,
of course, a whole range of vast
questions, headed by that of the
reduction of ornaments, which this
country would be glad enough, If
conditions were favorable, to discuss
with Germany and other powers on
terms of complete equality"
