Trade Stimulated By
 Recent Denunciations
Japanese Benefting Both Ways Declares Lord Nor ley; Democracy at Stake; England Grows Stronger

Since the Denunciation of the Japanese trade agreement by the United States, Japanese silk exports to this country have increased from 54 million dollars to 59 million dol lars, Lord Marley, British states man and former under r-secretary of war. stated last night in an address at the forum of the Beth Fl Mems Club.
 Japan is receiving more material for war against the Chinese than ever before, stated Marley, "the only effect of the denunciation of the trade agreement has been an in- crease of trade with that country" "In the eight months since the abrogation, exports to Japan have risen from 136 millions to 147 mil lions of dollars. This includes raw cotton for the manufacture of gun cotton, semi-processed metal for battleships which some day may be used against the United States, machine tools, oils, wood pulp, and other vital materials to be used for war purposes"
 Speaking of the war in Europe Marley asserted that if military force alone were to be considered Germany would win, but" he add ed, i've have the strength of dem- ocracy with us. We have the spirit of a united people. This cannot be destroyed"
 He reviewed the history of the collapse of France. stating that one of the most important reasons for that collapse, was the lack of unity and cooperation of its people. "The price of an efficient democracy is eternal vigilance. No government can be trdusted to act wisely unless the people keep an eye on it all the time"

Hong Kong Observer Soys;
Konoye Cabinet Confers
BY the Associated Press.

A fleet of Is japanese military
transport vessels left the mouth of
the Canton River. South China, yes
terday for an unknown destination,
a European observer in Hong Kong
reported today, adding new evidence
to expectations of an imminent
Japanese move.
In Toxic Premier Prince Fumimaro
Konoye and his newly organized
cabinet conferred at the palace with
the army and navy high command
on coordination between the armed
services and the government.
Konoye to Outline Aims.
The army and navy has taken an
active part in the government
reorganization, and Domei, Japanese
news agency. said the purpose Of
the Commute conference was Ito
establish fuller liaison and to attain
unity between the government and
the high command of the national
services
According to Donei, Prince
Konoye will outline Japanese dip
lomatic aims at q conference with
Japanese newspapermen tomorrow
and inform them then that the en-
pire's policy decided on July 2 will
not be changed.
What this policy is still has not
been divulged.
Tension Since June 70.
Tension has grown in the Far
East since June %, when Germany
and Russia went to war. Germany
and Japan are bound in the Axis
military pact while Russia and
Japan have a neutrality pact.
Last weeks reorganization Of the
Japanese cabinet, while offering no
substantial hint as to future Japa-
nese. moves, had been preceded by
q Japanese press campaign against
French Indo- China, which conceiv-
ably could become a steppingstone
toward the British Gibraltar of the
Far East, Singapore, or other points
in the Pacific sphere which Japan
claims as her own.
A move on Indo-C China probably
would permit Japan to keep intact
her ties with both Russia and the
Axis. At the induction of the third
Konoye government at Toxic, it
was officiaIly indicated that preser-
vation of the ties would be the aim
of Japanese policy.
