Britain Prepares Answers English Foreign Ofiice Plans Reply to Na*i, Japanese Notes I LONDON. May 28 —(I'.Pi— The British foreign office la preparing I a new note to Germany and two ! stiff notes to Japan, lt was learned tonight. j The note to Germany, being prepared in collaboration with admtral-' ty experts, will answer Chancellor Adolf Hitler * note of April 28 which besides repudiating the Anglo-Ger-j man naval pact, bitterly attacked British foreign polcy. It ls not | likely to be ready until some time after the pending British-French -Russian mutual aid pact is signed. BRITISH WILLING The exact tenor of the British answer will depend upon interven-j ing events, but. barring unforeseen j developments, it probably will as-j sure Germany of Britain's steadfast willingness to reach a general settlement of Europe's problems. It j also may offer Germany a non-ag-i gression pact. British officials, however, disclaimed knowledge of the reported intention of Prime Minister Neville (Chamberlain's government to sum-| mon a peace conference soon, as reported by a German agency. Delivery of the notes to Japan will come first. It was anticipated that they would be ready on Tuesday or Wednesday. The first will reject bluntly Japan's claim to sovereignty rights over all foreign settlements ln China and will remind Japan of British treaty rights in Chinese ports. BLOCKADE NOT RECOGNIZED The second will refuse to recognize Japan's asserted right to enforce a naval blockade of the China coast. Britain already has taken a formal stand on both points. A recent note to Tokyo—almost identical to a communication from the United States on the same topic—denied Japanese claims regarding international settlements ln China. Admiral Sir Percy Noble, British naval commander in China water*, protested to Japanese authorities at Amoy and Shanghai against the halting and boarding of the British liner Ranpura. Cage Paintings Of California To Be Exhibited I Paintings and water colors of California and New Mexico scenes by Merell Gage, assistant professor of sculpture, and his wife, Mrs. Marian M Gage, are being exhibited j this week tn the lounge of the Slu-, dent Union.

ZAMPERINI WINS I Zamperini sent the Trojans off to a flying start with an easy 30-yard victory ln the opening mile event ln which he raced to a new record of 4:11.2. Another S.C. pair, Howard Upton and Erwih Miller, forced John Woodruff of Pitt to equal Bill Carr's record of 47 seconds ln the 440. Upton, who held the lead until 20 yards from the tape, defeated his teammate "for the first time this year. Both were less than a foot, behind the flying Negro. Jim Humphrey, equalling the 19-year-old high hurdle rerord, won another title for Troy ln 14 4, while In the low hurdles Vickery lowered the record for the second time in Continued on Page Three Earl Vickery S.C.

Tri-Power Entente Planned England, France, Russia Reach Virtual Accord Regarding Mutual Aid PARIS. May 28—(I'.PI— Encouraging messages reaching the French foreign office today from Moscow led diplomats to anticipate conclusion of the Bri t,ish - French - Russian triple entente this week. 'We have succeeded in taking a rent, step for French security,” Pore ign Minister Georges Bonnet, said before leaving on a brief holiday. We have virtually reached an agreement with Russia and Britain for an entente. During the past, few months we have consolidated nir alliance with Brltlan and wr have seen Britain give its guarantees on the Rhine, Vistula, Danube, and Black Sea. We have prepared an accord with Turkey which will be published very shortly.’’ KNOWLEDGE DENIED The French pretended to have no knowledge that the projected triple entente may become a weapon against the Japanese in the Far East, as the British press suggested today, but said thia might come about lf Japan Joins the Rome-Berlin* military alliance. The Quai D'Orsay said emphatically today there would be io secret clause* to the entente, which would provide: 1. Britain.

Meanwhile, events Ui the Far East continued to be a source for comment. JAPANESE HESITATE. Japan's hesitation ln joining the Italo-German military alliance, which the Japanese cabinet has declared against, led 8tephane Lau-zane to wrote ln today's Matir: "England has inflicted a severe defeat on Hitler ln the Near East; everything now depends upon the United States Inflicting upon him another defeat In the Far East.

Dr. Francis M. Bacon, counselor of men, disclosed yesterday.

Britain Prepares Answers English Foreign Ofiice Plans Reply to Na*i, Japanese Notes I LONDON. May 28 —(I'.Pi— The British foreign office la preparing I a new note to Germany and two ! stiff notes to Japan, lt was learned tonight. j The note to Germany, being prepared in collaboration with admtral-' ty experts, will answer Chancellor Adolf Hitler * note of April 28 which besides repudiating the Anglo-Ger-j man naval pact, bitterly attacked British foreign polcy. It ls not | likely to be ready until some time after the pending British-French -Russian mutual aid pact is signed. BRITISH WILLING The exact tenor of the British answer will depend upon interven-j ing events, but. barring unforeseen j developments, it probably will as-j sure Germany of Britain's steadfast willingness to reach a general settlement of Europe's problems. It j also may offer Germany a non-ag-i gression pact. British officials, however, disclaimed knowledge of the reported intention of Prime Minister Neville (Chamberlain's government to sum-| mon a peace conference soon, as reported by a German agency. Delivery of the notes to Japan will come first. It was anticipated that they would be ready on Tuesday or Wednesday. The first will reject bluntly Japan's claim to sovereignty rights over all foreign settlements ln China and will remind Japan of British treaty rights in Chinese ports. BLOCKADE NOT RECOGNIZED The second will refuse to recognize Japan's asserted right to enforce a naval blockade of the China coast. Britain already has taken a formal stand on both points. A recent note to Tokyo—almost identical to a communication from the United States on the same topic—denied Japanese claims regarding international settlements ln China. Admiral Sir Percy Noble, British naval commander in China water*, protested to Japanese authorities at Amoy and Shanghai against the halting and boarding of the British liner Ranpura.

Tri-Power Entente Planned England, France, Russia Reach Virtual Accord Regarding Mutual Aid PARIS.
