MAY ORDER New Anglo-American Trade Pact Achieved

"STATE OF READINESS”

Powerful Combination Would Face Germany In Event Of War

London, Aug. 30.

It is semi-officially announced that certain precau- tionary measures are to be taken in view of the strained international situation.-Trans-Ocean.

London, Aug. 30.

However, combined with France's hurried defence preparations on the German frontier, it is believed that emergency plans for the services, said to be contemplated by the Cabinet, would partially counter-balance- advanced readiness for war.
