She is strong where the japanese are
weak-in airplanes There is something
about a japanese mind which cannot
absorb the principles Of aviation. They
can neither build planes nor fly them
although they have been trying hard
for years.
That also may have helped to in
duce Japan to stop and think.
Germany Now Bad Boy.
Germany is rapidly taking the jap

affairs. Our officials can hardly men

since ne pulled that trick on German
foreign debts.

Our officials were going to protest
about that when the British approached
us secretly on the subject Her ofh-
cials are more angry at Germany than
ours are. The result was that we told
Hitler he was Undermining German
credit" Those are strong words for
diplomatic exchanges, but they failed
to pierce Hitler's skull.
He snapped back within II hours,
announcing through his Reichsbank
that even further interest reductions
we're proposed.
1t is clearly skin game OF the

heard the last on the subject.
You may expect to see us take joint
strong action with the British shortly.
1t may 60 so far as to invoke joint
trade determinations against Germany.
French Planes Obsolete.
You may have thought the French
we're getting big hearted recently when
they offered to scrap half their bomb
ing planes If every one else did. II so,
you do not know the French.
The answer to that was contained in
the comment by our former air chief,
Mai. Gen. Fechet. Said he:
1.-The French bombing planes are OBJ
solete, if not outright junk. Ours are
highly efficient"
The way our diplomats figured 1t
out, France also was trying to get on
the good side of Britain in the inevi-
table contest against Germany.

What's What

Stop Japan From
Making Faces.
BY PAUL MALLON.

M toward promoting world peace
vl by building warshipS and air
1 planes seems, under the sur
face, to be getting somewhere,
at least in Japan.
The tranSpacific grapevine reports
a very salutary effect there.
A few months ago the Japanese were
making faces at the world. Dispatches
from Toxic briStled with war talk. All
that Is changed now. The war talk
comes in dispatches from Europe.
Toxic is silent.
Our officials pri0ately belieue our
recognition of Russia may hare had
something to do pith the change,
but they point to the upbuilding OF
our NGuy as the major cause.
A Japanese official told one OF our
men conf1dentially at the London Eco
nomic Conference:
Japan cannot hope to compete with
the naval building plans of your Presi-
dent We have insufficient resources to
meet such competition"
Russia Also Helps Cause.
Russia also has been using Mr., Roose-
velt's tactics to help the good cause
along. Six months ago she was un-
prepared and afraid of Japan She IS
still afraid, but no longer unprepared.
Airplanes have been massed in ST.
IBERIA ready for a break. Fast tractors
have been turned out in increasing
numbers. They run at 20 miles an
hour and are used for agricultural pur-
poses, but they can be swiftly con-
verted into war weapons.
The best martial authorities be-
lieue she is tair match for Japan
now. although her preparations are
largely Jor defense rather than
0fenSe.
She has no navy to speak Of Her
fortifications around Vladivostok have
been strengthened, but not enough to
resist Japanese siege. There would
be little point in Russia invading Man
churia, although her airplanes could
make the place very uncomfortable.
