GERMANY AND JAPAN
REPORTED MILITARY ALLIANCE. DENIAL AT BERLIN. AN UNDERSTANDING? (United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copy right.) (Times Cables.) Received April 8, 8.50 a.m. LONDON, April 7. The Times Berlin correspondent says that) though revived reports of a Ger-man-Japanese military alliance are not taken very seriously in well-in-formed circles, the possibility is not excluded that the excellent relations between the two Powers have led to an understanding that they should, at least, not hamper each other in diplomatic and other undertakings. The question of mutual support in war time may have been discussed, but it is emphasised that neither country has anything to gain by embroiling itself automatically in disputes to which the policies of the other may lead.
The Foreign Ministry denies the existence of any such agreement, and the feeling is that if one exists it has been arranged on the German side by the Nazi Party rather than the Wilhelmstrasse.
