BY ROBERT BELLAIRE United Press Staff Correspondent

Tokyo, Sept. 26 -(UP)-- Nobu- fumi Ito, president of the govern mefit information board, said in a radio broadcast tonight that Ja- pans military alliance with Ger many and Italy constitutes the keynote of our diplomacy"
 He said that whatever difficult ties we may encounter there will not be any change in the fact that the spirit of the three power pact constitutes the keynote of our di- plomacy and 1t will not be affect ed in the least by the activities of third powers seeking to alienate the three countries of Japan, Italy and Germany"
 Previously Koh Ishii, official spokesman, had announced that the government was considering the dispatch of & Japanese ship to Hawaii and the United States primarily" to evacuate Japanese citizens.
 In his broadcast speech, Ito said that unlike previous military al- dances the three power pact was not designed to acquire advantages in war but was ito forestall the spread of war for the welfare of mankind"
 Accordingly" he said, "it is my belief that we must be strongly de- termined to exhaust all possible peaceful means toward establish ment of a new order in accord ance with the spirit of the three power pact and if there is any third power interference we must dispel it resolutely and go for- ward with a steady step towards ultimate realization of a new world order"
 Three Power Pact Gains
 Ito said the three power pact was gaining strength through the signatures of Hungary, Rumania Slovakla, Bulgaria and Croatia 'snd
