tions against her by Britain and/or the United States, was given in the Diet yesterday.

The warning was given during interpellations by members of the Diet, who expressed concern at

Admiral Yonai, the Minister of the Navy, made a similar state- ment, claiming that the Navy was adequate for the defence of the country and reiterating Mr. Arita's statement that he did not believe that third Powers would adopt "extreme measures." -Our Own Correspondent.
