Axis Pact Continues
Pivot Of Policies,
japanese Declare
WeIl-Considered Reply
To Konoye's Message
Expected Of Roosevelt

By the Associated Press.
TOXIC, Aug. 30-The Axis pact
remains the unshakeable pivot OF
Japan's foreign policy. Domei news
agency declared tonight in quoting
well-informed circles on what 1t
called foreign ''misconstructionS" OF
Premier Prince Konoye's message to
President Roosevelt.
Whatever Interpretation may be
put on the Konoye message either
at home or abroad" it quoted these
circles. the policy of constructing
the co-prosperity sphere for East
Asia and disposal of the China
affair are two great immutable ma
tional policies of Japan
Roosevelt Reply Expected.
The Konoye message, which AM
bassador Kichisaburo Nomura de-
livered to President Roosevelt in
Washington still was described off,
cially only as an outline OF the
imperial government attitude
toward the Pacific situation"
The newspaper Asahi said. I'VE
expect President Roosevelt will send
a sincere and well-considered reply
to Prince Konoye which. more than
anything else. will testify to an
Anglo American desire for main
tenance of peace and settlement of
pending issues with their so-called
patience
Domei, however. admitted it would
be difficult to obtain American un-
derstanding of Japan's actions and
would be equally difficult for Japan
to accept Americas world policy in
its entirety.
British to Remove Nationals.
The day was marked by the Brit
ish EmbaSsy's announcement that
a ship will be sent to remove from
the japanese empire all of some
1000 British subjects who wish to
leave. The action was attributed
by the embassy to the japanese
freezing of British assets.
Details concerning the ship were
not divulged, but the embassy re-
ported it was considering means for
Americans TO go on the vessel if
there SnOulQ De room.
Discussing the issue of territorial
waters in connection with passage
of oil tankers to Vladivostok. a traf-
fic against which Japan has made
representations to Russia and re-
portedly the United States, an ar
ticle in Kokumin urged that Japan
extend her territorial sway to the
straits through which the ships
must pass.
Z. s. and British Action Cited.
The article. by Prof. Kazuyoshi
Suzuki. international law profess
sor at Meiji University. said both
the United States and Britain ex-
tend their territorial waters under
special conditions" citing the 12-
mile limit established in the United
States during liquor prohibition.
BY declaring the straits Japanese
waters. ships passing through them
could be seized without violating
any International law. he said.
The Japanese government mean
while was getting detailed report
on the situation regarding the
United States from its Minister to
Washington, Kaname Wakasugi,
who just returned to Toxic today.
He was closeted at once with For
eign Minister Toyoda.
WakaSugi told the japanese press
he found the wartime structure of
the United States had been much
strengthened recently and that the
anti-war movement had not reached
such a stage as to affect the ma
tional sentiments, although the peo-
pie as a whole desire peace"

He cited the consulateS predic-

Reason for Closing Consulate.
This activity was given as the rea
son of the Croatian government in
closing the American consulate al
Zagreb June %, particularly since
the United States had not recog-
nized the Croatian state and, there
fore, normal Diplomatic relations did
not exist between the two countries.
During the closing of the Offices
of the American consulate general
(the Nav. 194l. Congressional Di-
rectory lists the Office simply as a
consulate) at Zagreb,' the state
ment continued. "Croatian authori-
ties came into possession of material
which fully confirmed information
of the Croatian government on il
legal activity of officials of Ameri-

New York Detectives
Who Tracked Down
Cat0e Return Home
Chiefs Proud Of Work
Of Two Men; Full Story
Of Search Revealed

The two detectives who tracked
down Jarvis R. Catoe have returned
to their routine duties in New
York. A grand jury in the Bronx
has indicted Catoe for ficst-degree
murder and has filed papers here
for his eXtradition.
There is little chance, however,
that District authorities will waive
their prior claims on the man
whom they accuse of a long list
of crimes.
The full story of how a couple
of hard-headed. hard-boiled detec-
tives brought about the arrest of
Catoe will never be told in court,
therefore The circumstances
which led to his arrest hao no con-
nection with his Washington crimes.
New York authorities are proud
of the job that Andrew NJ O'Con-
nor and John j. v. Carroll did. and

There they found the body of a

ress. They went to her rooms to
interview her husband, a cake
baker, who told them she had left
home about 6 am. to go to work in
a Bronx restaurant.
The husband could offer no clues,
until the detectives asked him a
question which to them was ele-
mentary: Was she wearing any
jewelry or valuableS?
Was Wearing Wrist Watch.
Mr.. Anderson said yes. She was
wearing a wrist watch and carried
a compact. No wrist watch was
found on the body. Presumably the
murderer had it. Patiently. the
detectives prodded the grief-stricken
man-could he describe the watch?
Did he know the serial number?
Did he know how they could get the
number?
Then Mr.. Anderson remembered.
The watch was his and he had given
it 10 niS wife on her birthday an
niversary, April Is. Once. when he
had been in financial straits, he had
paWned the watch. The pawn
broker had written down the num-
ber.
The detectives went to the pawn
shop and got the number They
they started a search of New York
paWnbrokers to see if the watch
had been put in hook again.
1t had been. HaZen Johnson had
given it to her uncle and he had
pawned it for 81. The broker noti-
fed police and they went to the
boarding house.
