Meanwhile there was no furth er news of the siege of Klnhwa, where ' yesterday's Chungking communique reported the bloody repulse of invading columns striv ing to break through defense lines just outside the city's walls. Observers said a close reading of Japanese reports, together with other Information from Bur ma, Indicated that the nearly 150, 000 Japanese troops concentrated there may be destined for action against India rather than an at tempted offensive up the Burma road Into China. JAPS VOW WAR TO VICTORY, SEE NO R I FT WITH SOVIET TOKYO (from. Japanese broad casts), May 27. (API Japans parliament, in a session formally opened by Emperor Hirohito, was told by Premier Tojo today tnat Japan would stay in the fight "un til the Influence of Britain and America and their dreams of world domination" were wiped out. "JaDan will do her utmost to contribute her share as the part ner of Germany and Italy," he de clared. Emperor Hirohito, in one of his rare appearances, was In the parliament building for 15 min utes for the reading on an im perial rescript expressing pro found satisfaction at the success of Japanese expeditionary forces. Of Russia, Foreign Minister Togo said: "Relations between Japan and the soviet union have undergone no change even after the out break of war In greater East Asia." He added that Russia recently reiterated its intention to con tinue to observe the Japanese-so viet neutrality pact. With the progress of the war," the foreign minister said, "enemy countries will, presume, intensify their efforts to alienate Japan and the soviet union, but there is no chance for such intrigues to bear fruit so long as the soviet union firmly maintains the attitude mentioned." Bait Cast for India. "Since all outpost bases of the British empire for defense of In dia arc in the possession of Ja pan, the golden opportunity is of fered to the Indian people to rise and obtain their liberty. ... !' "The unsuccessful negotiation's by Sir Stafford Cripps proved that spiritually India already is Independent from Great Britain, but as long as British and Ameri can troops remain in India Japan is inflexibly determined to anni hilate them." He expressed hope that the In dians would eject the foreign troops. 1 Otherwise Japanese troops would have to move against the British and Americans there, he said. "To our regret it is unavoidable that In the course of such a cam paign the Innocent Indian people also would be made acquainted with the horrors of war." Says Australia "Helpless." Premier Tojo described Austra lia as the "orphan -of the Pacific" and said she was "now helplessly expecting Japan's attack after the battle In the Coral sea wiped away naval units put up for the defense of Australia. ..." Australia, he declared, must re consider her attitude toward Ja pan or suffer the consequences. Admiral Shlmada, navy min ister, told the diet that "naval ooeratlons up to the middle of March placed practically all key enemy points In the southwest ern Pacific in the hands of Ja pan." He said that since the middle of March Japan had achieved spectacular naval victories In the Indian ocean and Coral sea. Food Declared Ample. The premier told the diet "there is no cause for apprehen sion regarding the future supply of food for the people no matter how long the war is going to last." He reported that although re treating defense forces on the I islands of the Netherlands Indies and in Burma had destroyed large sections of oil fields, the work of repair and reconstruction 1 was under way. ! As war minister, Tojo reported that the Japanese army has taken control of an area two and a half; times the size of the Japanese empire. j He said Japanese military ' forces had captured 2!K1,000 troops and shot down or destroyed about l.S(X) enemy aircraft. He placed Japan's losses up to April 30 at 9.000 officers and men killed, and 20.000 wounded. 2-Line Angler Fined $25; Tackle Is Confiscated A fine of $25 was Imposed In lustiee court here today upon George Heck of Klamath Falls, ariTsted at Diamond lake and charged with fishing with iwo lines.
