Tokyo, June 26. General Itagakl, the Japanese Minister för. War, declared in Kyoto on Saturday that the rumours circulating abroad about the Impending settlement of the Far Eastern conflict were in- correct.

In order to create preliminary conditions for the effective conduct of war with China the entire nation, he said, must stand solidly behind the Government and the armed forces.
