"In case she wished to break it. It is likely that Mr. Hirota, the Japanese Foreign Minister, will speak of this proposed pact, when he addresses the Diet to-day. Some time ago it was announced that such a pian was embraced in this Minister's new foreign policy. But somehow, it, sems unlikely that China will want to sign it. She may be coerced in some way or another, of course, but there will be a tremendous volume of opinion against any guarantee by the Nanking Government as sug- gested.
