Konoye cabinet would cause nc
change in Japans fundamental
policies.
They declared the nation will
continue TO strive for settlement
of the China incident" and will
continue to adhere to the tripar-
tite Axis pact.
These aims, along with estab-
lishment of a greater East Asia

scribed as policies which cannot
be affected by a cabinet change,

throwing scores of punches to the opponents body.
 Robinson, despite his imposing record, has shown Q tendency to weaken once 6 bout has gotten through its early stages. Like Jack Dempsey, Robinson throws every. thing he's got into the early rounds and then finds himself under a terrific handicap when forced to travel farther than he expected.
 No "Router"
 Of course, this may be due to the fact that Robinson doesn't have much experience in going the route. A total of i9 of his % fights as Q pro have ended in lmockouts and only five of his fights have lasted longer than four rounds. Only once has he gone the ten round route. That was in the fight against Sammy Angott In Philadelphia when the Harlemite took the decision.
 Shapiro has never shown a ten. dency to tier and if he can survive the early onslaught of Robinson he may very well come on to out- point Robinson or even knock him out in the late rounds.
 Perhaps with this thought in mind, Robinson is training for the Shapiro encounter as he never trained before. He has been work ing out at Greenwood Lake, N. F., where Joe Louis has his camp pitchehd and his daily boxing drills have been impressive. He winds up today as does Shapiro who has been training at Stiliman's in New York.
