TOKYO, July 27.

THE POSSIBILITY of another triple intervention has been taken into con- sideration by the Japanese Navy in organising the new fleet which will shortly join the Combined Fleet in vigorous exercises on a war footing, according to the "Nichi-Nichi Shimbun."

Recalling the recent statement made by the Navy Minister, Admiral Yonai, who 'confirmed the organisation of a new fleet and the projected "war-time training" of the naval forces, the paper says that the Navy also feels grave concern, over the outcome of the Anglo-Japanese con- ference in Tokyo.

Japanese naval authorities are also closely following the developments of Japanese interests in North Sakhalien and in the Northern Waters, in view of the reported Soviet attempts to cancel Japanese concessions in Sakhalien, the paper continues.

Another British Protest

But Tokyo Has Tongue In Cheek

TOKYO, July 26. IT IS believed that the British Ambassador. Sir! Robert Craigie, has called Mr. Arita's attention to anti-British agitation and demonstrations in the Japanese-occupied areas in China and in Japan itself.

These demonstrations, Japan- ese officials declare, have never

No sooner was this agrog-

Germany and Franco presented a joint note to Tokyo, "ro< commending" that the terrl-

tories ceded to Japan on the mainland should not be per-

manently occupied but should revert to China, "as retention of the territories would be

detrimental to peace".

The recommandations wore couched in usual diplomatic wording, but everything indi- cated that the three signa- torios were prepared to enforce their advice by an appeal to arms, lapan was too weak to do anything and complied.
