TOKYO,
Sept.

(CP)
Premier

in
a

that
Japan,

"ready

Some

British
sources
believe
that
Japan
may
use
the
new
pact
with
Germany
and
Italy
as
an
excuse
to
enter
the
war
against
Great
Britain.
If
they
do,
It
is
said,
the
Japanese
will
find

in
a
much

from
what
it
was
a

This

In
the

a

Indicating
that
Japan
Is

A
