One important point was that it was though! desirable to make a provision to enable enemy allens to be by court irled in puitable cuses martials.

Blank Cheque For Japan
Germany And The Dutch E.l.
LONDON, May 23 (Reuter)-The Tokyo correspondent of the "Times" states Bat Dr. Ott, the German Am- bassador, yesterday informed Mr. Acita that the German Government "are not interested in the Dutch East Indies problem."
The statement was made in answer to the Japanese declaration on May 11.

Secondly, she agrees to any action
take. Japan implications of this declara. tion go much further than a straight forward reply to the Japanese state- ment required.
