THE CHINA MAIL, JULY 22, 1940.

Moves In Japan For Service Control Of Official Policy

(SPECIAL TO "CHINA MAIL”) QUICK DISPOSAL of the China incident in accordance with the principles of the well- known Konoye declaration on December 22, 1938, which pledged China's territorial and administrative integrity, is declared to be the main subject of discussions now proceeding in Tokyo between the Army and Prince Ko- noye, the Premier-designate.

According to the usually well-informed "Miyako Shimbun," the Army has outlined its intentions to Prince Konoye and said it de- sires the establishment of a new home politi- cal structure, formation of a Japanese · su- preme national defence body and alteration of Japan's foreign policy.

GERMANS HIDE BOMB HAVOC

The Nazis are taking great pains to conceal from the outside world! the effects of British bombing.

The new Cabinet is expected, according to the "Miyako," "to be closely associated with Army Headquarters so that the gap be- tween the policies of the Army and Government may be bridged."

The influential "Nichi-Nichi," In an editorial, on the same subject, declares a new organ may be created for co-ordinat- ing civil and milltary affairs. Such a body may be composed of the Premier and the Chiefs of the Army and Navy General Staffs.
