BY the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Sept ga highly quail
fled Japanese informant, picturing
Washington as an unalterable op-
ponent of japanese expansion, de-
clared today that Japan is expected
to go to active support of Germany
if the United States enters the
European war.
Trustworthy adviCeS received
yesterday by the Associated Press
said that Japan is expected soon
to announce new pact, perhaps
a full alliance, with the Rome
Berlin aXisD
The japanese informant said his
government finally is convinced that
the United States is unalterably op-
posed to Japan's Legitimate" eXpan-
sion in the Orient.
This source said that .strengthen-
ing" of the anti-Comintern pact of
Germany, Italy and Japan had be-
come one of the main objectives of
Japanese diplomacy in the past year.
Meanwhile, he indicated. a con-
aggression pact with Soviet Russia
is not unlikely.
Opposed to Communism.
Japan is and always will be op-
posed to Communism" he said
But this doesn't mean that a work
ing arrangement with the Russia rs
cannot be effected"
(Recent japanese press COM
ment has urged rapprochement
between Toxic and Moscow and
Japan recently changed her Am
bassador 10 Moscow for that os-
tensible purpose
Japan has consistently sought
only peaceful, economic penetra-
ton of the Far East" said this quail
ified informant, returning to the
question of the United States.
Our sphere of action lies here
and we prefer not to send troops
and warships to the various corners
Of the Far East to guarantee that
penetration.
However, the United States has
consistently attempted to block
Japan. Even during times when the
British offered conciliation, the
American policy increased in
strength"
Spanish Pact Expected.
Political circles here believe that
Germany shortly will announce a
pact with Spain in strong lineup
of the axis group against the nom
totalitarian powers.
These sources said that last year.
when a Japanese-German military
alliance was under discussion. an in
fuential group of Japanese still
hoped to reach agreement with the
United States, but now there seems
to be no further hope in that di-
rection.
Authoritative quarters indicated
that recent British h-American talks
regarding United States use of the
Singapore naval base would mate
rally accelerate Japanese-G e-German
arrangement.
The japanese Foreign Office re-
mained silent, but other quarters re-
ported that the Berlin Foreign Office
spokesman had denied all knowledge
of any new arrangement with Japan.

 Despite decreases in betting and attendance, the states receipts of $1,609, ,039 showed a $76,160 increase over the corresponding 1899 period. This was attributable to the in- creased levy passed by the 1889 leg iSlature.

ROY W. HOWARD
 APPLAUDS SWAP
Says President Roosevelt Will GO Down in History
 for Destroyer Plan

Manila, P. l., Sept. 7-(UP) ,- Roy w. Howard of the Scripps Howard newspapers told reporters upon his arrival here from China that the American destroyer trade with Great Britain had given a very definite lift" to the far eastern situation.
 Howard described the deal as "one of the great moves of the last gen. eration" and said that President Roosevelt would be given great cred- 1t for 1t in history.
 The United States publisher was greeted upon his arrival here by President Manuel Quezon Of the Philippines and went at once to the presidential palace where he will be Quezon's guest during his visit to Manila.
 The most forceful impression Of his entire trip through the east, Howard said, was the preparations for defense in the Dutch East 1n- dies. He visited Chlang Kal shek, Chlna's generalihsiin0 in Chungking earlier this week and said Chlang was never more confident than he is today of ultimate victory"
 Howard said his opinion was that China could hold out Indefinitely, but she was evidently getting more supplies from Russia since Inc clos. Ing Of the Burma Road" and that hho has more reserves than gre apparent,
