So grave is the situation that all U. S. Consulates in the Japanese Empire, Manchoukuo, China, French Indo-China and Hongkong have recelved instructions from the State Department to advise Ameri- can citizens to return to their homes in America as soon as poé- Approximately 9,000 white Am- ericans reside in the affected areas, Japan’s New Move At the same time, the Japanese navy reportedly landed troops at Liu Kung Island off the Shantung Peninsula, summer base for the British navy's summer garrison. Only a short time ago, the Chin- ese Government of Chiang Kai Shek granted Great Britain a re- newal of the ten-year lease on the disputed island, but the Japanese- controlled Nanking regime declared the lease terminated. Washingion Conferences In Washington there was renew- al of ‘alks between Under Secre- tary of State Sumner Welles and Russian Ambassador Oumansky. The talks stirred speculation of active collaboration between Wash- ington, London and Moscow in the Far East crisis. Conferences between Secretary of the Navy Knox and Admiral Rich- ardson, Commander-in-Chief of the U. S. Fleet, who flew in from the West Coast yesterday, also aroused | conjecture. Unofficially it is considered pos- sible the United States might make use of the great British naval base at Singapore on Great Britain’s in- vitation. “Aggravating” Japan, in’ her newly “assigned” dominating rolein the Orient as per Rome - Bérlin - Tokyo agree- ments, has repeatedly stressed that any such American move to share Singapore with Great Britain would be extremely aggravating. LA 0 e ROME PAPER SAYS AXIS WILL FIGHT |Warning Han_ded fo Unifed States She Is Bidding for War Abroad ROME, Oct. 8.—Mussolini’s news- paper Il Popolo d‘Italia has warned the United States that Germany, Italy and Japan are ready to go to war against the United States if America rejects the Rome-Berlin- Tokyo axis for mutual “living space.” The paper said offers are pre- ferred instead of “throwing down the gantlet.” The newspaper Appellius’ mili« tary commentator said the Ameri- can furnishing of arms to Great Britain and her readiness to per- mit Canadian civilian pilots to train opening of the Burma Road, the supply line to China.
