stroyed hundreds of Nazi tanks. This artist’s impression shows

them.
Aooiversary of
Tripartite Pactl
Today Japan celebrates her
anniversary of signing the Tri-
partite Pact.
Yesterday, on the eve of the
festivals, M. Ito declared in a
broadcast speech that the signi-
ficance of the pact was that it
recognised Japanese hegemony
in the Far East. It was quite
natural for Japan to cooperate
with Germany and Italy as the
ideals and aspirations of these
three great nations were very
similar. The Tripartite Pact
would remain the basis of Jap-
anese foreign policy.
relatTon witii usa:
M. Kurutski, former am-
bassador to Berlin, in a speech
trying to reconcile the U.S. to
this policy of Japan, said that
relations with the U.S. would

the Axis.
