LONDON, February 1s.-The danger
of an American Japanese conf1lct
which bulked large at the time OF my
other visits to London in l922-Zi
seems to have been generally dis
counted in recent months. Neither
British official nor informed pubic
opinion now anticipates any early
explosion in the Far East either IN
volving America, Great Britain or
both countries.
No effort is made here to minimize
the underlying seriousness or the
Far Eastern situation. The DRIFT OF
opinion, however. seems to be IN the
direction of belief that there VIII
be no aggressive japanese actloh
while peace is maintained in Europe,
and as subsidiary detail. while
there Is no grave development in
India. On the other hand, 1t is equally
appreciated here that Japanese sentl-
ment remains bitter toward both
America and England and is unlikely
to change for the better, since there
IS no possibility OF any modification
OF the attitude of the United States
and of British dominion toward Jap
anese immigration.
Fear Three-POwer Merger.
To put the thing broadly, the Brit
ish regard one of the outstanding
dangers of the present world stu
alton as possible combination be-
tween Russia, Germany and Japan,
and the recent treaty between Japan
and Russia has occasioned much
rather restrained comment. one
hears in London a good deal more
talk about the possible CONNECT Dc
tween the yellow and white races
than in America. or perhaps more
exactly, than in the East of the
United states.
Informed British opinion seems to
be arriving at the conclusion that
peace in the West may we'll insure
temporary, If not permanent, peace
in the East BY contrast. If one could
conceive of another war in the west
on the lines and expanding to the pro-
portions of the last, then the common
verdict is that the inevitable eXhaus-
ton of the white races would pro-
vide the East ard Japan with an
opportunity which would not be al
lowed to escape.
Race Prestige Gone.
What stands out beyond all else
is the British perception based upon
intimate knowledge of ard long con-
tinued experience with the East that
what one might call the prestige of
the West of the white races, has
been completely shattered by the
World War and cannot be restored
to anything like the old form. The
consequence has been an enormous
modification of the view of the East
toward the West, which will continue
TO show itself in all directions.
But, so far as an American-Jap-
anese conflict is concerned the British
do not believe Japan Will attack the
United States under present circum
stances because they feel satisfi ed
that the revelation of our industrial
strength during the World War and
the disclosure OF the relative value
of military and economic resources
in the conflict have not been lost
upon the Japanese mind. Granted
these circumstances and assuming the
practical impossi5ility of Japan deal
ing US any decisive or even Grip
ping blow, the British dismiss such
a struggle from the range of imme
date possibilities.
In the same sense one hears much
comment on the fact that the over
throw of the great German military
machine and the complete failure

the matter of comparative values of

All of which is not to say that the
British are satisfied with the Pacific

not to disguise their conviction that

strategic line which the party has
pursued, since the events of last year
endangered the existence of the ia

the Communists Party of Italy at that
time proposed to the opposition par

opposition parliament, which would
have been the first step towards an
open fight against the usurping and
oppressive regime, but that the Aven-

this represents the last reserve Of the

counts however, our comrades are
proceeding with their project, and the

The government, is of course, not
depending on repressive measures
alone in order to fight the anti-war
feeling among the masses. It is re-

with the, aid of the socialist chiefs is
seeking by every means to discredit

the French proletariat is giving to the
all-important question what will the

quite gone over to the side of

lied that at the present moment

The anti-fascist movement has thus
under the lead of the democracy
been completely defeated. The bloc
compounded of very heterogeneous elr
ments. which the opposition formed
against Mussolini's regime, continues
TO crumble away gradually. The con

spite of the fact that he had left them
in the lurch, called forth loud protests
from the non-constitutional parties

these parties had to give expression
to threats Of separation. But these
threats remained nothing but threats

that these three parties, who call
themselves anti-constitutional, have

A huge diamond-back rattler
was lurking in the woods behind
the farm of one Riley Adams, IN
the edge of town. Young Lewis
Adams, 10, was tramping through
the woods, came unwittingly on the
RATHER and was bitten in the leg.
The child was hurried to a hos
pital but died in short time And
then Charlie DAVIS came on the
scene.
Davis went to the spot where the
boy had been bitten to take up the
trail. Now you must know that by
the time he got around to it the
trail was two days old. But
Charlie Adams is by way of being
latterday Daniel Boone, as far as
the woods are concerned, and one of
his hobbies is hunting rattlesnakss.
So off he went.

Charlie Davis never knew when
ne might come upon the deadly
reptile. Any clump of under brush
any rank growth of grass he lay on,
might harDor it. And when the
RATHER strikes, no living man can
dodge in time.
At last Charlie Davis spied the
snake in a fence corner, a scant
two yards away. 1t was monster,
six feet long, with 10 rattles and
disposition like a top sergeant of
marines.
Davis drew his only weapon-a

Back to the farm Davis bore his
captive. There he incarcerated it
in box.
Some of the nelghbors, anxious
to see vengeance, suggested that
the snake be tortured to death for
the crime it had committed. But
Davis said no; just leave it alone
and presently it would starve. And
it is now doing that, in its box.

deeds, don't forget to add the name
of Charlie Davis, who lives in the
little town of Fales, Ga, and who
doesn't know what the word fear
means.
In fact, it's a little hard to tell
whether Charlie Davis stunt was
supremacy brave or supremacy nut
