United States army has on its
hands large quantity of canned
meat which it can not give away,
can not sell, can not use itself.
This is not because the meat is
bad. On the contrary it is rated
as above grade. The one difficulty
is that the meat comes from Ar
gentina. And an executive order
has been issued prohibiting the
army, navy or any relief agency
from using foreign meat.
The order caught the army with
a large quantity of canned meat
purchased in hurry to feed the
CCC. At that time there was vir-
tually no meat canned in this
country. American meat packers
did their canning in Argentina.
Since the army can not eat the
meat, give it away or sell it. the
only alternative is to keep it. Good
canned meat will keep for about
twenty years. General Macarthur
figures by that time there will be
another world war and the coun-
try will forget about foreign
prejudice.

position is necessarily that the

taken in 1922 at the Washington
conference.
Since that time it has been no

NTANKING, April 25.-Startling
~ as it may sound offhand,
China would join neither side in
event of war between Russia and
Japan.
So DR.. Wang Ching-wei, presi-
dent of China's Executive Yuan
and minister of foreign affairs,
told me. in an exclusive interview
at the foreign office here.
After Japan's seizure Of four of
China's richest provinces, her at
tack on Shanghai, and her stand
ing threat against all North
China. the world generally has
believed that China would jump at
the chance to help any country
defeat Nippon.
That would seem to be her only
chance
Somewhat surprised, I asked
President Wang why.
China" he replied in a low
voice, stands to lose in such a
war, no matter which side wins.
EAR from desiring war between
Il Japan and the Soviet Union
so we may fish in troubled waters,
our most earnest wish is for peace.
If Russia should be decisively
defeated, China would be left at
the mercy of a militaristic neigh
Dor. There would be nothing to
prevent further advance into
this country.
Should Japan be defeated,
there would be nothing to check
our other powerful neigldbor."
China and Russia are now on
most friendly terms. But the
Chinese have been trained to
think in decades, and even CEN
turtles. Now and for a long time
to come, China's security, in large
measure, depends upon some kind
of balance of power in the far
east.
"CHOULD these two countries
- go to war. therefore," DR..
Wang continued, China could
hardly choose sides. On the con-
trary, she would seek to keep out
of it and pin her faith on the
League of Nations and America to
save her from the aftermath.
Here was another surprise. Most
Chinese leaders with whom I had
talked were frankly skeptical of
the Leagues value to China in her
time of peril.

Apparently these declarations are
meant to be spectacular in then
defiance OF Western SensibilitieS
Until they were made japanese
diplomacy always has sought to ex-
plain away the japanese advance
in China. Ever since September
1881. the advance has been pro-
ceeding. But it has proceeded tc
the accompaniment of explanations
that were intended to conciliate
world opinion.
Japan has been acting boldly but
speaking softly. She has acted first
and then explained Now suddenly
she makes great declarations about
what she is going to do, and they
are couched in language and de-
livered in a form which is, to say
the least, unusual among the great
nations.
What is the purpose of this de-
1iberately defiant attitude? Is it
the expression of militariSts who
do not know the conventions OF
diplomacy? Almost certainly that
is not the explanation. For the
declarations are being re-enforced
by japanese diplomates who are
quite as we'll aware as any one
what they sound like. This is a
concerted and deliberate move.
Il
NTHEN one looks at the sub
w stance of these declarations
one finds in them announcements
that Japan will oppose technical
and financial assistance" to China
if Japan thinks this will encour-
age China to resist Japanese
ideas.
This might include our wheat
and cotton loan to China, the
projects of the league to rehabili-
tate China. and the sale of air.
planes and other munitions by
American and other western firms.
Now, the question is; How does
Japan propose to stop Europeans
or Americans from dealing with
China on terms satisfactory to
China and themselves?
BY declaring war? It seems
most unlikely. There would APP
pear to be only one way in which
japan can effectively prevent the
western nations from lending or
selling to China as they see fit;
that is to have China herself re-
ject the loans, the technical as
Sistance, the goods of which Japan
dlSapproveS. If China will not
borrow. buy, or be assisted, except
as Japan gives consent. then the
policy announced to Toxic will be
effective. For no one in America
or Europe will force loans, goods
or assistance on China if China
rejects them.
1t is therefore reasonable to
suppose that the japanese pur-
pose is not primarily to brighten
away the western nations, but to
overawe the Chinese. Looked at
from this point of view the policy
becomes ineligible.
On the other hand, it is a threat
Of force against China which
Japan is in a position to make
good; on the other. it is defiance
