debate was entered into over the

both Japanese alliance with the
Rome Berlin axis and France
England treaties with Russia are
involved.
Japan threatens still stronger
blcckades and almost sure alli-
ance with the Nazis and Fascisfs
if England persists in talking al
lance with the Sovieis. On The
other hand. England threatens to
include the Far East in its pro-
gram of alliance with Russia if
Japan continues its menacing at
titude.
Diplomats are making siren
uous efforts to placate all sides in
the international mixup. Nobody
can see at this point just what
