JAPAN PERPLEXED
MORE TALK OF CABINET RESHUFFLE i IN SPITE OF OFFICIAL DENIAL. TRADE UPSET BY WAR EXTENSION. (Received This Day, 1.5 p.m.) LONDON, June 26. A Tokio message states that a further extraordinary Cabinet meeting was held today to study Ihe effect of the Russo-German conflict on the international situation. A spokesman categorically denied reports that a Cabinet reshuffle was impending and that Mr Matsuoka was about to resign. Nevertheless in London it is suggested that Mr Shige:|iitsu, who is now en> route to Tokio for consultations. may replace Mr Matsuoka, whose complicated policy in wooing both Germany and Russia has placed Japan in a quandary. The “Daily Telegraph’s” Shanghai correspondent points out that the extension of the war deprives Japan of supplies of machinery and chemicals from Germany and leaves Japan holding huge supplies of soya beans which had been earmarked for Germany.
