MILITARY PACT PROPOSAL
Germany, Italy And Japan
THREAT OF CABINET CRISIS IN TOKIO
Alliance Wanted Against Britain And France
By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. (Received March 26, 9.30 p.m.) LONDON. March 26. The Tokio correspondent of the British United Press says that a Japanese Cabinet crisis is threatening as a result of the German proposal to convert the German-Italian-Japanese axis, embodied in the Anti-Cornintern Pact, into a military alliance against the democratic States.
Ministerial conferences are being held, but the majority of the Cabinet at present opposes beinginvolved in European affairs. Yesterday 200 members of the Diet petitioned the Prime Minister, Baron Hiranuma, advocating a tripartite military alliance against Britain and France, who were “obstructing Japan’s sacred mission.” A message from Chungking, China's provisional capital, states that the Chinese Government advocates an international conference of the democracies in order to remove the possibilities of war and to preserve peace.
