Hope that the Government would clarify its "fundamental policies" in with the "China Incident" and in coping with the Buropean situation, in view of the world attention focussed on the Japan's attitude, was expressed by Mr. Fusanosuke Kuhara, mewly-appointed President of the Seiyukai Party, in a. press interview.

Interior Secretary Joins In Meanwhile, Mr. Harold Ickes, Secretary of Interior, wrote in an article in "Look" magazine that President Roosevelt should be drafted for a third term. His entry into the battle appeared to end the period when it could be argued that talk of a third term for the President was confined to those who were seeking to embarrass the President.
"I am too much personally devoted to the President to wish him to continue his heart-breaking job, were there anyone else to replace him," Mr. Ickes wrote. "But I am also too much devoted to my country to be unwilling to make a sacrifice for it, even, if necessary, the well-being and peace of a man who has earned Mr. Kuhara ized the need to peace. consolidate the various machinery for the guidance and unification of the trend of public opinion, and fully to observe the desire. of Baron Hiranuma, the Premier, for the complete cooperation of the nation with the Government in carrying out its policies.
The best way of ensuring lasting peace in the Orient and the world, and the collapse of Communisn, Mr. Kuhata added, was to set up inter-motional machinery in Japan and China, and, if possible, in the world, for the achievement of the desired economic ce-existence, ce-prosperity and mutual assistance among the various races in the light of the principles of territorial non-aggression afd administrative non-interference with other countries.—Reuter.
