London, To-day.
An attempt is being made to convert the Anti- Comintern Pact (between Japan, Germany, Italy and Hungary) into a military alliance, says A. J. Cummings writing in the "News Chronicle."
Mr. Cummings says that a secret Japanese mission of three members is now on board the Lloyd Triestino liner "Conte Verde" (which passed through Hong Kong last week) to present offi- cial instructions at a conference in Berlin at the end of February.
Their aim is to take final steps to convert the Anti-Comintern Pact into a formal three-power military alliance.
The Japanese emissaries are stated to be Colonel Tasumi, of the European-American depart- ment of the General Staff. Rear- Admiral Abe, departmental chief| of the Naval Staff, and Mr. Ito, of the Foreign Office.
Japanese Ambassadors and Ministers in Europe will also at- tend the conference.
