For "Charlie" Dunning did not mm to want to leave Canada even on his health-seeking trip to England. Dozens of friends wish- ed him bon voyage and he smiled I. shadow of his old smile but an air of sadness hung over his de- partur-e—sadn2ss that the 54-year- old Minister is beingdorced. at least temporarily, out of the public service because of illness.

The departure and his friends’ best rvist‘es seemed to touch ' him deeply. He was tired after plow- dlnz up the gangwav from the dock to the ship's deck and leaned an "st a door for a minute before making his way slowly on the arm of his son Averv to his cabin.

'IOiKYo, Aug. 4 —(AP)—A high government official accused Great Britain and the United States to- day 01’ Joint pressure on Japan and declared “events are forcing" Jap- an toward a military alliance with Germany and Italy.

Japanese meanwhile greeted with doubt and perplexity British Prime Minister Chamberlain's declarat. ion Britain might find it necessary “in certain circumstances" to send a fleet to the far east.

Comment was guarded but one naval officer said Britain “might send a few ships as a gesture" but it was unlikely she would do more because of the unsettled outlook for Europe.

Japan To Join Axis Powers In

Accord

Ambassadors Con- clude Highly Im- portant Parley. ROME, Aug. 4 —(AP)—'1‘he

Japanese Ambassadors to Rome and Berlin today ended a irwo-day conference at Lake Como in which they were stated to have consider- ed Japanese adherence to the Italian-German Military Alliance.

A Jwpazlese informant said they cabled a detailed reportto Tokyo and would return to their posts to- morrow tn await instructions from their home government.

(In TOKYO it government. official said Washington's abrogation of the American-Japanese Trade Pact and British "resistance" on North ‘China. currency questions were “forcing” Japan toward an out- right military alliance with Italy and Germany.)

Further Talks

The possibility of lnctreascd Jap-' 8-Xlese collaboration with the Rome- Berlin Axis is to be explored with Fascist and Nazi leaders by a delegation from Japan due Aug. 26 in Naples.

The conference of the envoys from Rome and Berlin. Toshio shiratori and Lieut.-General Hiroshi Oshima, was seen as lay- ing the groundwork for extensive military, political and economic discussions on the delegation'.s arrival.

Ambassadors Shiratori and Osh- lma conferred first and then in- vited their mllitary advisers and counsellors to join them. They al- so communicated with other Jap- anese Embassies in Europe to re- ceive the latest reports on title European political and military situation.

Oshimn said during a recess in the conference that the discussions were "of maximum importance."

Stefani, official Italian news agency. said the ambassadors -“declared the subject of their

meeting was the .question of the Tokyo Government's adherence to the Italian-Germain Alliance of

Violence In

I-Iankow, protested to the Japanese- Consulale-General against anti- Americanism in Kaifeng.

Britons recently have beenforoed by Japanese to leave Kaifeng, where there are extensive Canad- ian and American missions and some United States commercial enterprises.

The unfriendly attitude of Jap- anese sentrles toward Americans in Tsingtao aroused fears there that they soon will be victims of the anti-foreign campaign which so far has been directed principal- ly against the British. Reports circulated that Japanese consulates would refuse further permits to Americans for travel in the Japa- nese-occupied sections of China in retaliation for treat; abrogation.

Soon tor toda:.s anti-British violence in Tiantiin. British resi- dents of the blockaded British Concession received letters from “the Chinese Patriotic Youth As- sociation" waming them to leave 'I1cntsin ialtogietihler since "the anti-Brltish movement may devel- op into direct action which the Chinese government will not be able to control."

Aug. —(CP)——A new Brit-uh-built motor torpedo boat has been developed_ which Flight-Commander Claude Grraam-White, manufirc'turer.i.hinks should be of the greatest interest to the Canadian Government in considering the defence of the Dcminion‘s extensive coastlines. The torpedo boat can carry two 21-inch toms-does. one 37 mm. automatic Ca.llllDll, one .50 calibre machine-gun and six deutlr bombs.

(By The Associated Press) ‘ CHICAGO. Aug. 4-The death jump of a mother’ and two chil- dren who fled from Czo:lro-Slo- vakia after Chancellor Hitler's troops had occupied the country was attributed to Nazi "persecut- ion" by a. coroner's jury today.

PARIS, Aug. British-Japanese

PARLIAMENT ADJOURNS

LONDON. Aug. 4—Par1lamelll adjourned for tire summer today with Prime Minister Chamberlain bluntly warning Japan that Urea.t Britain might find it necessary “in certain circumstances" to send a fleet to the Far East,

He (lid not indicate what these circumstances were. but said he hoperl no one would think it was "absc‘.u'.ely out of the question for such circumstances to arise."

“I do not say that as a threat." he declared. “but only as a warn- mg."

with this pointed speech he closed the stormy session of Far- liarrrcn‘. which began Nov. 8, 1938, and ivhiclr saw him discard his so- callerl “appcasement" policy for buildlrur up the British-French al- liance and a peace front in Eur-

ope.

Par-llame.-rt will not reassemble until Oct 3 unless an emergency arises.

MUST CONSERVE STRENGTH

Mr. Clrzlmberlain said that some of the things that were happening to British subjects in Noir_th China made his “blood boil." but that he would try to show “patience and to exercise reasonable moderation."

"Let us not fo.get.” the Prime Minister told the House of Com- have graver and lrearer problems to consider in the course of the next few months and we must conserve our forces to nreet any emergency that may a-

He said Britain was hi :1 "diffi- cult” position both because oflE.‘ur-. opean tenson and because any use of force against Japan would en- danger Britisll subjects in China.

“Surely we must think all the time in the presence of these in- sults and injuries which have been inflicted upon British subjects in China by Japanese what are the limits of what we can do," he con- tinlled.

“At the present moment we have not got in the Far East a fleet superior to that of the Japanese. We have such a fleet here. In certazn circumstances we might tind_it_n_gcessary to send a fleet
