BULLETIN.

TOXIC, Sept. % (H') Sunday.
Premier Prince Fumimaro Ko-
noye warned in a nation wide
radio address tonight that Japan,
Germany and Italy are ready to
display the power of their mill
tary alliance in case of necessity"
BY the Associated Press.
BERLIN, Sept. 28.-The three
signatories to the Italian
japanese military pact have agreed
on the area in which the red star
of Soviet Russia is to be the con-
trolling symbol the authoritative
commentary, Dienst aus Deutsch-
land, said today.
The three powers. which already
have agreed to the precise "spaces"
in Europe. Africa and Asia in which
they are to have the final word, have
agreed on Russias sphere so that
there can be no question of en-
croachment in foreign spaces by
these powers" the commentary said.
The commentary defined the re-
lation of the individual states to
their respective spaces as leader
ship and not as mCnopolistic rule
Other German conjecture in the
wake of yesterdays dramatic signing
of the new world-front alliance CEN
tered on the United States and its
possible future use of Britain's
Singapore base and its supply of
arms and planes to the English.
Aid MAY Bring Conflict.
Supplying arms and munitions
to Britain may or may not bring a
conflict with the three members of
the new pact, authorized sources
said, adding that it depends on
whether such help IS likely to affect
decisively the progress of the war.
They said, for instance. that trad
ing so over-age destroyers for bases
in British Western Hemisphere ter
ritories doesn't mean a conflict
The pact is directed against the
spirit of intervention and widening
of the conflict" these sources con-
tinued
Supplying arms is one manifesto
ton of the interventionist spirit.
Just when and whether furnishing
instruments of war leads to open
conflict with the contracting parties
of the three power pact is presently
a theoretical question
Monroe Doctrine "Unopposed."
Asked whether the listing Of Eu-
rope and Africa as the sphere for
axis leadership and Greater East
Asia as Japan's mean that the axis
was disinterested in South Amer
lea, authorized quarters said:
I'VE have never opposed your
Monroe Doctrine. We have no de-
sire or intention to extend our de-
fensive frontiers, say to the waters
of the Amazon.
I'VE have never thought of inter-
fering with political forms or mani
festations within the area affected
by the Monroe Doctrine and do not
intend to do SO in the future"
Should any new belligerent power
attack one of the three partners to
Yesterdays pact of Berlin, these in
formants said, sit will face 25O,OOO.-
900 soldiers, with emphasis on
Soldiers for every woman and child
within these three nations will fight
the spirit of interventionist meddling
which the pact is intended to BAN
Questioned by correspondents of
various nationalities as to just what
was meant by greater East Asia"
whether it includes the Netherland
Indies and the Philippines-these
quarters replied that the pact merely
comedies the political leadership to
Japan without going into details.
World Order Basic Idea.
The prime underlying idea, they
said, was that of bringing order to
the various parts of the world and
Japan was recognized as the leader
in establishing order in greater East
Asia.
To the question of whether the
Soviet Union now is expected to de-
sist from supplying arms to China,
these sources expressed the opinion
that Russian deliveries did not af-
