Japan to Crack
United States
Tokyo, Aug. 21 (U.B Newspapers
asserted today that the foreign of
fice was formulating a tentative
new policy toward the United
States, Involving retaliation against
Ameriacn interests in China, for
application if the United States
embargoed munitions to Japan.
Embargo action would be Inter
preted as an unfair application of
the American neutrality law, It was
asserted, and hence Japan would
assume belligerent rights In con
nection with American interests In
China.
Assertions were made also that
the government was considering de
nunciation of the nine power treaty
by which the United States, Japan,
Great Britain and other nations
guaranteed China's political and
territorial sovereignty and Integrity.
The nine power treaty report was
published as the foreign office Is
sued a long and vigorously worded
statement announcing that Japan
would not permit the intervention
of other powers In Its negotiations
with Great Britain regarding Its
demand that Britain cooperate In
floating of Japanese sponsored cur
rency in northern China and sur
render millions of dollars of Chi
nese government silver bullion held
In Chinese banks in the British
concession at Tientsin.

Nazi-Soviet '
Barter Pact
Moscow, Aug. 21 (U.R) A new Rus
sian-German trade agreement may
prove a substantial step for further
improvement not only of economic
but also of political relations be
tween the Soviet Union and Ger
many, the newspaper Pravda, of
flcial organ of the communist party,
said today.
Tt can be safely stated that the
new agreement Is a turning point
in business relations of the two
countries," said Izvestla, official
newspaper organ of the govern
ment. Announcement of the Russian-
German agreement came at a time
when It had admitted that differ
ences had arisen in negotiations by
Russia with Britain and French
military missions for an anti-aggression
military alliance.
Negotiations with the British and
French military missions. In recess
during the week-end pending re
ceipt by them of fresh Instructions,
were resumed today.
Intrinsically, the trade agreement
was Important enough, involving an
$80,000,000 credit by Germany to
Russia and purchase by Russia of
$72,000,000 of German goods.
The comments by the two offi
cial newspapers, however, gave It
even additional moment.

Warn British to
Leave Warsaw
Warsaw, Aug. 31 The Brit
ish - embassy has circularized its
nationals In Warsaw In general
terms, advising them to leave War
saw as soon as possible In "view of
the considerable danger of a rupture
In Polish-German relations," a rel
iable Informant said today.
Individual British tourists, It waa
reported, have been advised to leave
Poland Immediately because of an
tklpated difficulties In transporta
tion should war break out
This Is regarded as Indicative of
the Increasingly serious view being
taken of the present sltuaton by
foreign circles here.
In the American embassy, where
several tourists were seen applying
for advice as to whether they should
cancel their stay here, the following
statement was given:
The embassy is watching the
situation with great care and will
take every appropriate measure neo
euary to protect American Interest!
and citizens In Poland In any
emergency which may arise."
The French embassy has taken
no specific steps beyond advising
French nationals, women especially,

increases reported to have been

(Along Slovakia's 290 mile fron
tier with Poland, 250,000 German
troops under full war equipment
were reported to have been massed
yesterday.
(Roads were choked with troops.
artillery and supply trains as the
Germans concentrated behind the
four main passes through the Tatra
mountains Into Poland.
(Zlllna, Slovakia, was general
headquarters, and the towns of
Calca, Trstena, Orlow and Mezlla
borce were concentration points.)
The polish position Is that Po
land must be prepared In a military
sense for any eventualities, but that
Germany must be given no oppor
tunity to charge Poland with ag
gressive military alms.
From the start last March, for
eign observers agreed there haa
been nothing demonstrative about
the Polish mobilization. It has
been In many ways a "secret" mo

defense measures have been taken."
