According to a telegram receiv ed in raliable quarters quite recently," says the Osaka journal, Britain and America adhere stab bornly to their view in favour of the destruction of the German warships in defiance of the differ- ant opinion expressed by the other members of the Allies, and the present indication is that the Anglo-American view will even- tually prevail at the Supreme War

Council of the Allies. The Mainichi gives the above report the strength of a Kare message, and the reliability of the source of this information may. well be questioned.
