THE ANTI-COMMUNIsM ALLIANCE

What is the meaning of the alliance
between Germany, Japan and Italy to
fight communism"
Nobody knows because nobody be-
Iieves that this is all to the undertakings
entered upon by the three powers and,
yet, it is all that the nations concerned
are admitting
Certainly, it means the division of the
great powers of the world into two camps
with the aggressor group possessing unity
of purpose, facility of action and willing
ness to use power to grasp spOils without
regard to the laws of nations or of hui
mainly.
In three widely separated parts Of
the world three nations put ON increasing
pressure, coordinating their activity in a
way that is not accidental. Germany will
move in central Europe, Italy will sway
the Mediterranean and Japan will work.
the Far East. Behind their activity is their
common front and willingness to risk a
general war to get what they want.
There may be people in the world who
still believe that peace can be attained by
appealing to reason. They possibly think
that the peoples of Germany, Italy and
Japan do not want war, that they will up
set the Vaccinations of their leaders and
that, when this happens, the world will
blossom into anew peace.
We can4ssee The. peoples in the
three countries win back their govern
ment's war; They have no opportunity to
learn anything that will upset their COM
placent acquiescence in the necessity Of
power politics. Only the leaders know
the truth and they believe, today, that their
bluff will continue to work. Only when
the rulers of these countries realize that
the other nations of the world are ready to
fight, if necessary, and have the power to
win the struggle, will they make up their
minds to accept peaceful means for the
settlement of international disputes.
