REPORTED GERMAN MOVE IN TOKIO
AIMED AGAINST DEMOCRACIES. JAPANESE CABINET CRISIS THREATENED. By Telegraph—Press Association —Copyright 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-Comintern Pact, into a military alliance against the democratic States. .
Ministerial conferences are being held, but the majority of the Cabinet at present opposes being involved 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.
