AXIS CONCLUDES---that the Berlin agreement apparently dissolved that possibility.
As for Britain's reply, it was believed in Parliamentary circles that this government could only agree to reopening of the Burma road after Oct. 18, to renew aid to China. The road, over which supplies reached the Chungking government, was disclosed early this summer on demand of Japan.
China also is expected to seek further financial aid here.
The United States, more than ever, must pursue a two-ocean naval policy, British sources believed, as a result of the Berlin pact.
Chinese circles said they welcomed the pact as "clearing the air" and dividing the world into totalitarian and anti-totalitarian camps. In this lineup, they said, Soviet Russia takes a benevolent attitude toward Germany and seems to be the only great power remaining outside the arena.
The pact raised the question of whether Moscow had been consulted in advance, but there was a belief here that Japan had discussed the situation with the Soviets and been assured of passive acceptance.
BRITISH SAY--positions clear in advance by signing up in the new pact.
'Empty Threat' Says Britain
Signing of the pact, in the presence of Hitler, took two minutes.
Spain, repeatedly heralded by the axis press as an imminent partner of Germany and Italy, was not a signatory. There was no explanation of Spain's failure to join the axis. However, Ribbentrop announced that other nations which desire to "preserve order throughout the world as well as to restore peace" are welcome to sign up later.
There was no mention of the United States in the agreement. But Rome quickly dispelled any doubts which might have existed as to purpose of the pact. Responsible Italian quarters said it was a plain warning to the United States not to interfere in the European or Far Eastern wars.
Nations which desire to participate in the carving up of the world expected to follow upon German-Italian-Japanese success at arms, it was hinted plainly, must make their
Although the axis is not required to enter Japan's fight against China or Japan to fight Great Britain, the pact provided mutual recognition of the respective "new orders" in Europe and Asia.

Great Britain's reaction to the alliance was prompt and expressive. London characterized it as an "empty threat" and while the signing ceremonies were going forward at Berlin, Royal Air Force fighters pounced on German bombers attempting a heavy raid and shot down 18 of them in a great series of dog fight in which two British planes and one pilot were said to have been lost.
First test of the new alliance, it appeared, may be in the making in the Far East where Japan's policy of vigorous expansionism into the southern Pacific already has brought a head-on collision with the United States.
'Clash with U.S. Inevitable'
Tokyo spokesmen warned bluntly today a 'clash between Japan . . . and America . . . now seems inevitable." This was the reaction to Washington's latest moves—the application of an embargo to shipment of scrap steel and iron to Japan and the granting of new credits to China to carry on her war.
"Our views on these discriminatory acts are well known," Japanese spokesmen said.
Far Eastern crisis points appeared to be French Indo-China and the great International settlement of Shanghai.
The Royal Air Force carried out hard-hitting raids against Germany, striking at French channel ports, German shipping, the Kiel canal and inland waterways. Fierce fires blazed along the Channel coast.
Berlin claimed that British raids were limited to Belgium and the Netherlands.
London had an intensive early morning raid after two night raids of limited severity. A maternity hospital and 1 famous wine cellar were hit. Mersey (Liverpool) was bombed. Yesterday's air totals were given as 34 German planes downed, eight British and three pilots lost. Germany claimed 400 tons of bombs were dumped on Britain during the night, 250 tons on London.

DRAFT DODGERS---example of the trend on Mount Oread comes in an incident involving Don Pierce, first string varsity center. One day recently, Dale Lowery, freshman center from Dodge City, asked Pierce several questions about playing the position. After Pierce had answered the queries, he took the time and trouble to show Lowery a number of other things about a center's stance and the art of passing the ball. The result was that Lowery rejoined his freshman mates a much improved center and firmly convinced that Pierce was a "swell guy." Such cooperation as this pays big dividends.
An insurance plan for all conscripts was agreed upon yesterday at a meeting of House and Senate conferences on the excess profits tax bill. Each conscript will be allowed to take up to $10,000 insurance at a price expected to be slightly higher than the 66 cents per thousand dollars charged world war soldiers.

And Its Lubricated Point Writes "as smooth as oil"
GUARANTEED for LIFE
by Parker's Blue Diamond
What's the use of being a quick-thinker if your pen won't work when your brain does?
A college professor found that this gets many a student down. So he invented a brand-new way of filling pens—a way that makes more room for ink INSIDE by dispensing with the customary rubber ink sac.
Parker spent 5 years to engineer this revolutionary principle to perfection—this sacred "One-Hand" Filler—the Parker Vacumatic—the largest selling pen in the world today.
And its crowning glory is that streamlined Pearl and Jet style—laminated. Ring upon Ring, as shimmering as velvet—wholly smart, original and exclusive—winner of the Pen Beauty contest.
A pen that holds nearly twice as much ink as our old style, and shows days ahead if it's running low, so it won't run dry. Whose lubricated 14 K Gold Point—nont-brittle, extra resilient—is tipped with Osmiridium so smooth and hard and dense that it won't wear scratchy as long as you live!
Go and see it and try it—don't make the mistake of writing "the hard way" throughout your college course and life's career.
Exclusive One-Hand Filler, the EASIEST, most convenient, as verified by Devitt laboratories testing 24 months.
