Eden Sharply Warns
japanese 10 Reflect
Where Policies Lead
Strained Toxic Relations
Regretted; Acquisition Of
Bases Is Held Threat
BY the Associated Press.


LONDON, July 30.-Foreign Sec
retary Anthony Eden today said
only the future could tell If Japan
will keep her promises to respect the
sovereignty and integrity of French
China, and sharply warned the
Japanese Ito reflect while there is
still time whittier their present
policy is leading them"
In a statement to the House of
Commons, which traced the British
effort to avert Japanese occupation
of air and naval bases in Southern
Indo-China, bases which he termed
q threat to Great Britain, Mr.. Eden
said it was matter of regret to the
British government that relations
with Japan had become strained.
But the fault does not lies with
the British government" he told a
cheering house.
Action Parallel to L. s. Taken.
"As soon as his majestry's govern
ment learned of the decision of the
United States Government to freeze
all japanese assets arrangements
were made for a parallel measure to
come into force as regards the
United Kingdom" he continued.
Subsequently, he added, other
parts of the British Commonwealth
of Nations fell in line.
Mr.. Eden asserted that Japan
complains Of encirclement, yet it is
Japan herself who, by successive
acts Of aggression, has drawn closer
and closer in self-defense the coun-
tries which lie in her path and
whose territories and interests are
ever more sharply threatened"
Then adding II cannot believe
that craftsmanship in Japan Is en-
tirely dead or blind" he warned
those responsible for the destinies
of the japanese Empire" TO take
heed.
Mr.. Eden said ratification of the
| commercial treaty between Japan
and Indo-China early in July was
synchronized with the report that
Japan contemplated acquisition OF
naval and air bases in South 1ndo-
| China and Thailand.
The British Ambassador at Toxic
received a categorical denial of this
report July from the Vice Minister
| OF Foreign Affairs. The report per-
sisted, however. and there followed

She gave him wry sort of smile.

teammates Stan Valanos, Maurice

cause immeasurably.

Anacostia, too, had several stand

Guilty in getting its attack started
with Eddie Hoffman and Paul
Blaine doing their best to keep the
Indians in the game To Anacostia's
credit it may be noted it outdid the
Vikings in first downs, turning in
IA to 6, but it couldn't produce a
scoring punch through Centrals
tough line.
The game was rough and hard
fought with frequent penalties, sew
eral for unnecessary roughness.
Central, in ALL was put back 100
yards and Anacostia 10.
Early in the first period the
Vikings displayed the kind of punch
necessary to win. Anacostia at the
start rolled up two quick first downs
by advancing from its Is to the 40
with the second team doing the
work. Coach ROLAND Lund then in
serted the first team, but it couldn't
continue the advance and Blaine
was forced to kick over Centrals
goal. On the first play after that
Denikos slipped through the line
and behind some of the best block
ing displayed around here this year
bounded 80 yards to touchdown.
Central Piles Up Score.
That was all during the first half,
although Anacostia penetrated Vik-
ing territory when Tom Batey in
tercepted pass from Valanos.
Blaine heaved 7yard pass to Ell
mer Leukhardt to reach Central's
80 as the half ended.
In the third period, the Vikings
advanced from midf1eld to Anacos-
tia's Is, from which point Horton
skirted left end for touchdown.
The score was called back, however,
for a clipping penalty and Jack
Samperton tried a field goal which
was inches low.
The Vikings got a score that
stuck a minute later, however, when
Denikos intercepted a pass from
Blaine on Central's As and lateraled
