| TOKYO LEADERS DECIDE ON ‘SYMPATHY WITH AXIS

|!

Army, Navy Men Compromise Issue, Reports Indicate

FOREIGN SITUATION TOKYO-—Policy toward Europe is decided. LONDON-—Poland and Rumania consulted on Russia. BERLIN-—Nazis strengthen position, renew demands. MADRID—Franco to retain Italian-Nazi arms. PARIS—French relieved by Franco's speech. THE HAGUE—Finance Minister quits over deficit.

TOKYO. May 20 (U. P.).—Cabinet leaders reached a final decision

on Japan's European policy today discussion. It was understood that

after months of sometimes heated the policy called for “sympathetic

neutrality” toward Germany and Italy, without definite commitments to

support the “axis” powers.

Five key ministers of the Cabinet made the decision.

Immediately

afterward, Baron Hiranuma, the Premier, called the entire cabinet session and, before the meeting, visited Emperor Hirohito to inform him

and obtain the imperial assent. Details of the decision were withheld pending formal announcement. But it was reported that, under the policy agreed on, Japan would offer moral and other support to the “axis” without, however, pledging itself to full support or joining Germany and Italy in their new military alliance. It was understood that to make a decision posisbie, the Army and Navy leaders compromsied. The] Army had been for alliance; the Navy against it.

Five Ministers Meet

The question of Japan's policy toward Europe, which necessarily takes account of the fact that Russia extends to the Pacific, had been considered for many months. In recent weeks discussion had intensified, and Army and Navy men were particularly active in it. Baron Hiranuma, Hachiro Arita, Foreign Minister; Gen. Seishiro Itagaki, War Minister; Admiral

It was made known at the time that the Government proposed to send a strong delegation to Spain for two months of economic negotiations with the Nationalist regime, and that a trade agreement with Lithuania was signed here today.

It was reported May 3, on au-| thority of Government sources, that the Cabinet had obtained the Emperor’s agreement to a Japanese alliance with Germany and Italy| against Russian “aggression” alone.

It was intended to conduct several days of intensive negotiations on Russia's role in the British-French “security front.” Mr. Chamberlain hoped that the Cabinet would have

PARIS, May 20 (U.

The Government has been gravely concerned over German and Italian activities in Spain because adherence of Spain to the “axis” would mean that France would have to defend not only her German and Italian frontiers but her Pyrenees frontier opposite Spain. yen.

Despite an apparent deadlock in|

British-Russian negotiations, spokesmen for both sides admitted now that they expected an agreement in the end. Mr. Chamberlain, resisting ,Russia’s demand for a full British-French-Russian military alliance, has pleaded the objection of Poland and Rumania to such a plan. But in diplomatic quarters here it was reported that Rumania is now in favor of it and that Poland has modified its opposition—to what extent remained to be ascertained. It was understood that the Foreign Office in Mr. Chamberlain's behalf has instructed the British envoys at Warsaw and Bucharest to obtain definite views of the Polish and Rumanian Governments. The Daily Express asserted today that Britain has ordered highspeed construction of 20 antisubmarine ships of an entirely new and secret design.

Machines qualifying after today will have to start back in the field regardless of their times.

Qualifying Distance Cut

This is the first day set aside for qualification and the pilot making the fastest time today gains the coveted pole position, which means his car will start the race in the front row on the inside of the track. Aside from the prestige the driver gains and the awards amounting to (several hundred dollars which go to the pole winner, there is no particular advantage on race day in having this starting spot. On race day the pole winner is forced by the pressure of the pack from behind to run the first few |laps at terrific speed, and sometimes [this does more damage to his car {than if he had remained a little off the pace in the early stage and saved his engine for the closing spurt. Roberts, the winner of the race last year also took the pole position in the qualifications with an average speed of 125.681. Ronney | Householder made a faster run than | Roberts but it came after the first {qualifying day and did not gain him the No. 1 spot. 48 Cars Are Entered

The “M-Day” allegation was disseminated by Capt.

The date of “M-Day” (mobilization Day) was given in the report, but the investigators refused to reveal it. Testimony at a secret hearing of the Committee Thursday, revealed {by Rep. Dies later, showed that the information of the alleged revolutionary plot came from a man supposed to be a club waiter, The Committee said that Gen.
