Japan Expected to Delay
Action on Nozi Chorqe

TOXIC. Nov. 3 R:-Signs multi
piled today that Japan would re-
frain from any hasty action as a
result Of Germany's charge that she
had been attacked by the United
States.
The opinion prevailed, neverthe-
less, that Japan would be more like
ly to accept the German rather than
the American version of incidents
involving warships of those two
powers in the Atlantic.
Informed quarters held the view
that Germany would not ask Japan
at this time to invoke the Axis pact
under which these countries and
Italy agreed to aid one another in
case of attack by a power not in
volved in the European or Far East
ern conflicts.
The japanese press. meanwhile,
stressed the gravity of Japanese
American relations, which Asahi said
were "the worst in history" Yo-

unreserved approval of the other

the possibility of immediate invok-
ing of the the three-power pact
whereby Germany, Japan and Italy
pledged to aid one another in case
any one of the Axis partners were
attacked by power not involved
in the wars in Europe and China
Observers said they were inclined
to accept the German declaration
as an attempt to place RESPONSE
bility on President Roosevelt for the

relations stemming from Atlantic

The President of the United

have committed us to this war that

But until that time arrives, I shall

of America, the lives and happiness
of her people, and the safety and
