Why should Germany upbraid
Great Britain for using Indian troops

China has yielded TO the demands
of Japan and will in the future be in
fact apparently a dependency of the
latter country. This situation is one
OF the unfortunate results of the
war in Europe. England, France,
Germany and Russia would never
have permitted such result had they
not been engaged in warfare among
themselves. The Japanese were cley-
er enough to see their opportunity
and take advantage of it. With the
uncouhted millions of Chinese com
ing gradually under Japanese suzer-
ainty Japan will be in position to
defy any single western power The
United States is the most exposed

pines for England. which has still
larger possessions in the far East, is
in alliance with Japan and after
Japan's aid in taking the German

Japan firmly intrenched in China and

out look in the far East is decidedly
