Britain Abrogates
All Commercial
Pacts With Japan
Treaties Involving Indio
And Burma Cancelled
By London's Action
b. the Associated Press.

b. the Associate Press.
TOXIC, July 26.-British Ambas-
sador Sir Robert Leslie Craigie in
formed the japanese government
today of Britain's intentions to abro-
gate all commercial treaties with
Japan in an action parallel with
United States freezing of Japanese
assets.
Craigie was followed to the Foreign
Office by United States Ambassador
Joseph Grew.
Masatune Ogura, Finance Min
lister, told the press "the japanese
will take counter measures in an
appropriate manner in keeping with
the situation as necessary prepara-
tions have been completed
Abrogation Announced.
The Foreign Office announced the
British abrogation of commercial
treaties after the British Ambassador
had called on Foreign Minister Tel
jiro Toyoda. Britain's step applied
to commercial treaties involving
India and Burma as well as the
United Kingdom.
The Foreign Office said the British
treaty under its terms would be
effective for a year after notice of
abrogation. and the Indian and
Burma treaties for six more months
Sir Robert Leslie Craigie called
on Foreign Minister Toyoda at his
official residence at 230 pm under
instructions from his home govern
ment," said the announcement
Under instructions from his home
government in letters written under
July 26 date, Craigie notified Japan
of Britain's intention to abrogate
the commerce and navigation treaty
concluded April, 1894, the treaty con-
cluded between Japan and India
July, 1884, regarding their trade re-
lations, and the treaty of June, 1887
regarding trade relations between
Japan and Burma.
The ground was that the British,
Indian and Burmese governments
had reached the conclusion that the
objectives they had at the time these
treaties were signed no longer will
be satisfied.
In this connection it is recalled
that the Anglo-Japanese commerce
and navigation treaty is effective
for one yeal after notification of
abrogation, while the others will be
effective in the coming six months y

SHANGHAI, July 26 (P).-British
and American freezing of Japanese
assets was expected to touch off
quick japanese counteraction which
official American circles predicted
would be felt first in Shanghai's big
International Settlement, where
British and American investments
are valued at S250,0O0, 900.

to complete its organization soon.
The chaplain pointed out that in

wounded home from the Albanian
war theater through Valona alone,
while the Red Cross estimates $4,000
Italians are prisoners. Other Greek
sources say Italian losses run into

British Hopes Rest
On U. 5. Arms, Says

Combined Strength Can
Surpuss Germunys,
Auto Engineers Told
~ the Associated Press.

~ the Associated Press.
DETROIT, Jan. 9.-Sir Louis Beale,
member Of the British Purchasing
Commission, said in an address here
last night that Britain's hope "for
complete victory, for freedom" lies
in the engineering industry Of the
United States.
Speaking to the Society Of Auto
motive Engineers, he said there was
no doubt that "the combined eco
nomic and industrial strength Of the
United States and the British EN-
pire can certainly surpass and OUT
last that Of Germany and the coun-
tries under her control"
He added, however, that "time Is
the all-important factor" and con-
tinued:
IF the tide of Nad-ism Is to be
rolled back, we must act with speed.
Compared with the first World War,
the pace today is very much faster
and Britain needs all the production
from her own and your factories
without delay. To secure victory
the whole of the machine production
of democracy must be thrown
against the totalitarian onslaught;
thrown with all our might-now.
Ready for Invasion.
Despite the bombings, industrial
production for all war purposes pro-
ceeds apace throughout Britain.
Should the much-heralded invasion
of Britain be attempted. We are
ready. In Britain 100000 grim,
alert and fully armed men stand
ready to repel any invader; the
whole country is mobilized behind
these armed forces; fire fighters.
bomb removal squads, hospitals and
nurses. transport and food distribu-
ton are actively ready"
Maj. Gen. George H. Brett, chief
OF the United States Air Corps,
urged the Nations automotive en-
gineers to strive for the highest
quality in the greatest abundance" !"
in developing the national defense
program.
In an address read in his absence
by Brig. Gen. o. P. Echols Of the
Army materiel division, Gen. Brett
said he urged this ito the end that
our way of life may prevail and
our Nation maintain its position of
leadership in the upward march of
civilization"
Gen. Brett said he would not re-
duce by "one iota" the demand for
speed and quantity Of production,
but wanted to add his plea for quail
ity as we'll.
Armored Forces Expanded.
Earlier. Mai Gen. Charles L.
Scott, acting chief Of the armored
forces. reported these forces had
expanded about $50 per cent since
they were set up as a separate unit
last July 10. He said that work.
ing independently and in no way
copying the Germans, the line of
thought of the American Army for
development and employment in
battle of armored forces has been
strikingly similar to that Of the
Germans.
Gen. Brett said that "a large
group Of self-appointed military and
political experts propose to sacrifice
quality in aircraft in order to obtain
larger quantities sooner"
Arch T. Colwell Of Cleveland, pres
ident-elect Of the society, asserted
that national defense offers a chal-
lenge to industrial management and
engineering.
He said the automobile industry
must retain its standards for quality
of goods and maintain its research
facilities even though the demands
upon the industry be severe.
