“The whole of the British Commonwealth of Nations and Empire IS indeed at this moment intensively engaged in mobilizing strength stronger and more powerful than at the outset of any past uzir,’ he said.

TOKYO, Sevpt. 20—Foreign ob- servers saw in developments today evidence that a Japanese cam- paign was under way to lessen the holdings and influence of Great Britain and France in Chins. while they are preoccupied by war with Germany.

Indications of this trend was seen in a resolution adopted. by the Japan Bar Association declar- lna that the presence in China of troops and warships of the Eur- opean bclllgerenfs was illegal.

Anollier trend was the attention paid by Japanese newspapers to relations with the United states. Some observers interpreted this as ‘ an attempt to win support for the r.avy‘s budgetary estimates wh h are forthcoming soon.
