"Japan's Anat alm is a yellow race empire in all Asiatic territories from Singapore to Kamchatka."

Senator Berenger than analysed Herr Hitler's book, "Mein Kampf," and proclaimed that the principal alm of Hitler's Germany was firstly to erush France in order to be free to expand towards the East.

"Smash France," he said, "after having isolated her diplomatically; then attack Russia and what Hlller calls the breakings-up' of Europe, that is to say the States born of the 1919 peace. That, in sfiori, is the Iidlerian plan of 1923, which is sill the German plan of 1937."

It was while answering attacks on the fidelity to France of Poland and Yugo-Slavia that Senator Berenger revealed the readiness of these two countries to mobilise during the Locarno crisis last year.

He added that it was still too carly to say why France did not mobilise at that time, but he hinted that it might have been due to British hesitancy. France, he pointed oui, was always very anxious to keep in line with Britain.

ALLIES

Reviewing France's potential, and present allies, in case of a conflict,

. Berenger sald that France could count on the British Commonwealth,

Yugo-Slavia, Czecho-Slovakia, Po- land and "perhaps Russia." He continued:

"There are chances that in case of a European conflict in which France und England were threatened by Gur- mano-Italian attack, the United

States would soon be on the side of

France and Britain."

(Mr. Ysturo Sugimura, Japanese Ambassador in Paris, denied the statements made by M. Berenger that Japan had prezented France with a virtual ultimatum concerning arms shipments into China by the Yunnan rallway.]
