WASHINGWN, Oct. 16 -(AP) ——Imposing a rule of strict sccrccy, President Roosevelt conferred with his military and foreign affairs ad- visers for an hour and three quart- ers today. while on Capitol I-lfli some legislators predicted that ev- ents in the Far East might lead to a Japanese-American showdown.

The situation in Japan, where "he cabinet of Premier Prince Fumim- aro Konoye has resigned, and in Russia, where Moscow is half ring-

ed “y the Nazis, was believed to have been canvassed. 1n Congress, two lilen who are

usually poles apart in til" outlook on foreign affairs agreed ' of ihe Japanese cabinet resignation bore ominous implications for the filt- ure of Japanese-American relations

Senator Gerald Nye (Rep-Nu) sald:-

"Of course, we can't tell much until a new cabinet is appointed, but the resignation of the former one apparently means a COmDlPlv‘ military sci-up in Japan. If it is to re on nll-oilt pro-axis governlnerlv then we w'Ii face a most serious hour."

Interpreting The War News

p ‘ “"*‘“By"KI‘RKE L SIMPSON Associated Prcss Staff Writer

Thundering Nazi blows on the outer defences of Moscow find a dfstnnt bul dramatic echo on the Tok o end o-f the German- Itslfan- apcinese Axis.

Whatever else the Japanese cabinet crisis may mean it is too closely interlocked with the developing siege of Moscow not to be regarded as an important piece dropping into lace in the jllg-saw puzzle of ftlei-‘s war p a

ns.

Whether Berlin's guarded claims that the caaitulatirn of Moscow is immedln ly impend- ing is Justified remains to be seen. ‘There is no reasonable doubt however. that Nazi un- dercover pressure in Tokyo, timed to coincide closely wth the German lnvesimem Mos- cow. had something lo o with the Konoye cwblnetfiugt.
