TOKYO, Thursday, July 17 (UP) An official announcement said today that the Konoye government had resigned en bloc to make way for strengthening of the domestic structure. it was indicated that a war cabinet dominated by army and navy leaders would be formed to Japanese foreign policy. British (Responsible quarters in London saw the imminent threat of a large-scalJapanese thrust into The Netherlands East Indies or French as a result of the resignation of the Japanese cabinet.) Premier Prince Fumimaro Konoye submitted the resignations to Emperor Hirohito as a climax to the crisis precipitated by the outbieak of war between Japans two friends, Russia and Germany, and infrom the creasing demand army and navy for a centralized nationalistic government. Membership of the new cabinet will reveal whether Japan will embark on new military adventures, in support of her axis ties under the tripartite will or whether she pact, swing to a course of more cautious policies. Since army and navy leaders admittedly favor carrying out Japan's program of expansion in the Far East, a predominance of military leaders in the new cabinet would appear to foreshadow support of the axis. Hirohito accepted the resignations at his summer residence at Hayama and instructed Konoye to administer state affairs until further notice. Yo.suke Minister Foreign Matsuoka, whose policies have in been criticized recently many Japanese quarters, has been ill for a week and did not attend the cabinet session at which the decision to resign was reached. However, his resignation was submitted with the others and there was no indication whether he would be offered a post in the new cabinet. Fusanosuke Kuhara, cabinet counsellor, who had resigned prior to the en bloc resignation of the cabinet, issued a statement asserting that he had withdrawn because of his former political party associations. He believed that in the present crisis the governments or leaders should be "pure, without former party associations. On that basis army and navy leaders would be highly eligible because of their lack of political associations. After the cabinet resignation.

A dozen of the armys highest officers were involved in the war departments reshuffle which places Maj. Gen. Frank M. in Andrews complete charge of the Caribbean defense force. He formerly had commanded only the air force in that vital area. Exparsion of his command was Interpreted in some quarters as foreshadowing adoption of fundamental strategy used by the German high command. Military experts hold that one of the chief reasons for German successes on land has been assignment of air officers to command all units in w'hich air power was the vital striking Jorce. The move was In line with the recent statement by Gen. Marshall, army George C. chief of staff, that army commands henceforth will be centered in a single officer whose branch of service is most vitally concerned with defense of special areas. Andrews promotion also recognized the Importance placed by the war department on its air arm in the Caribbean. To further strengthen it, 50 pilots were sent today to Panama and Puerto Rico. The order concerning the enlisted naval reservists was issued by Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox. It specially prevents those On duty from resigning even though their enlistments expire. Reserve enlistments run for four years. Knoxs order highlighted a hot fight raging in congress over extending the period of service of army draftees, reservists and national guardsmen from the 12 months prescribed by law to the duration. The extension was asked by and is the war department supported by President Roosevelt. Another shift in the army high command which may have been Influenced by the apparent motives that prompted Andrews promotion, was the assignment of Brig. Gen. Henry W. Harms, an air officer, to command of the U. S. forces in Newfoundland. Andrews will relieve Lieut. Gen. Daniel Van Voorhis, who will take command over the Fifth corps area on Sept. 10. Swift action in the diiection of learning just what can be done towards the reestablishment of the cement manufacturing business in this area was promised Wednesday eveRoss ning when President Bowen of the chamber of commerce called a meeting and appointed a committee to go to work on the project. The committee composed of Mayor Alf Freeman, W. R. Merrell, President Ross Bowen and David H. Mann will go to Salt Lake City Saturday to investigate the matter from several different angles, relative to getting action from either the owners of the local plant, or others who may be interested. While it has been the generally accepted theory that the local plant, since It was partially destroyed by fire many years ago has been kept from reopening by monopolistic interests, the present war emergency demands that the place be put into operation, as a national defense measure. There is no question but what cement can be manufactured at the Bakers plant cheaper than in most plants, however at the present time, contractors of the state must place their orders with firms in order to secure the product for building purposes. The Union Portland cement company has advised local contractors of the shortage of cement and a letter from that firm is published herewith: "Because of the demand on us by the government for cement to be used in defense work, it is becoming Increasingly difficult for us to accept additional orders and It will be necessary for us to accept all future orders subject to ouri ability to furnish same. "We believe it will, therefore, be advisable for you in accepting any orders for cement, and when making quotations covering deliveries of cement, that you accept them under the same conditions that is, sub-iep- t to our ability to furnish. In other words, do not obligate yourselves on any specific orders or contracts to make any stated deliveries. "Also, it is almost impossible to secure cloth cement bags from manufacturers, accept no CONVICTS orders for cement in cloth bags without first taking the matter up with us. "This condition will obtain until further notice. SAN QUENTIN PRISON, Cal.
