 Japan's alliance with the Axis powers, he said ill his first interview with foreign correspondents, repre- sented the keystcEe of its foreign policy.
 However. he aGded war against the United States arising from the alliance could come only in event what the United Sttaes was adjudged the aggressor in conflict against Germany.

system used now by Great Britain.
 No decisions have yet been made, but it was learned that the plan would apply only to contractors pro ducing armaments on a cost-plus- fixed fee basis. A certain percentage of the money saved for the govern ment would be given the contractor as a bonus in addition to the fixed fee. Some Officials believe such system would stimulate greater operating efficiency and the de- velopment of cost-reducing tech- niqueS.
 Describes Plan
 One defense commission official described the plan with the follow ing illustration:
 A corporation contracts to build 1000 tanks in a government equipped factory at an estimated base cost of $1O,0OOO00. The company would receive no profit other than a fixed fee of $1O0O0O for operating and managing the plant while fulfilling the contract. If the corporation com- pletes the contract at cost of $9,- 5OO,000, it would receive part of the $500,OOO saved as a bonus.
 It was pointed out that bonus contracts of that type would have to carry a clause permitting readjust- ment of estimated costs to conform with changing prices of materials and other factors.
 The British have been using this type of contract successfully, defense officials said. They also were said to be paying some contractors speed up" bonuses for to complete orders ahead of schedule.
 Defense commission officials in dicated that they consider 1t umWise to consider speed up" bonuses now. Such bonuses to shipbuilderS during the World War were criticized after the war.
 Disturbing Factor
 The bonus plan was disclosed as the chief of the navy'S bureau ot supplies and accounts criticized the Walsh -Healey public contracts as a disturbing factor in procuring some supplies and the labor policy committee of the defense commits sion pledged the cooperation of labor in maintaining uninter1upt ed production in defense industries.
 Rear Admiral Ray Spear, in his annual report to the secretary of the navy. said that while many of the early difficulties with the Walsh Healey act have been eliminated, "the promulgation of minimum wages has created new problems which seem to be difficult to over come"
 He said that many manufacturers would not bid and take a contract subject to the act, and that others would accept all provisions except those applying to minimum wages.
 The act was passed in 1886 and sets forth labor standards to which bidders for government contracts must adhere. The navy department has been among the critics of the act for some time, but demands that it be repealed to facilitate pro- duction for defense have been at- tackled by organized labor.
