JAPAN'S ATTITUDE TO

NINE POWER TREATY

STILL UNDETERMINED

Tokyo, Nov. 20.

A large body of public opinion in Japan is favouring re- vision or denunication of the Nine-Power Treaty, but that does not indicate Government contemplation of denunciation.

This was the comment of a spokes- man at the Foreign Office in reply- ing to foreign correspondents' queries in the matter.

The spokesman said he was not in a position definitely to state what attitude the Government would take towards the Nine-Power Pact in the future, but the Government did not intend to denounce it at present.

The spokesman said the statement or resolution of the Brussels confer- ence had not yet been officially cum- mmunicated to Japan. He added: "I cannot tell whether the Government will simply ignore it or not."-Reuter.

The discovery of time bombs, with an contrivance, and 100 grenades, carefully hidden in fortified cellars in Rue Ribera and seized by the police, is the latest sensation in the so-called Cagoulard (Hooded Men) movement, which is keeping the police busy throughout the country.

The sinister movement has been proved to have far-reaching ramifications and many of its devotees aré known to be former members of the banned Camelots du Roi organisation, but the authorities are still in the dark regarding how the movement is financed, who are the ring-leaders, and what is their real aim.
