ALLIANCE WITH AXIS

JAPANESE EFFORTS

FOREIGN CIRCLES SAID TO BE SHOCKED

MEETINGS IN ITALY

(By Telegraph—Press Association—Copyright.)

(Received August 4, 2 p.m.)

ROME, August 3.

A communique issued by the Japanese Ambassadors in Rome and Berlin, who conferred here, states that the reason for their conference was to conclude preparations for a military alliance with the Axis Powers. They chose Cernobbio as the place for the final decision because Herr yon Ribbentrop and Count Ciano concluded the Italo-German alliance there. It is regarded as a good omen.

The communique caused a shock in foreign circles. In Rome it is regarded as another example of perfect Totalitarian timing, as it anticipates the departure of the British and 'French military missions to Russia.
