This writer has just obtained from
a friend, an economist returning
from Germany, his first closeup Of
what DR.. Funk and his shrewd
hunchman, Hjalmar Schacht, are
doing with their new militarized eco
nomics. My informant, who wrote
books about the old, mellow, beery,
bassoony Germany, had many old
friends there and was steered right
into the wheelhouse. According to
him, the new German formula is as
revolutionary as Communism. Every
atom of surplus wealth is sluiced
into the "dynamics" Of expansion,
and the Reich outreach is based on
jug-handled trade relations which
mean commercial subjugation for
any short-enders who try to do busi-
ness with it. My friend is gloomy.
He says there's no stopping them.

Dutch, already sufficiently menaced
by what Toxic this week proclaimed
as "the new order in Asia" would
be confronted by a virtually in
vincible Nippon once the Siamese
were to enter into the Japanese
orbit.
From an American long identified
with Far Eastern affairs and only
recently returned to- the United
States from a long residence in
China comes this graphic epitome OF
the situation:
siam for years has been vir-
tually q Franco-British condo
minimum. Japanese prestige there
is now rising very rapidly. I
believe the Siamese have ordered
ornaments of various kinds in
Japan. The question is not solely
one of the absolute rise of Jap
anese prestige but one of the
relative rise of Japanese prestige,
in comparison with the decline
of French and British prestige.
With the British position at
Hong Kong now compromised dis
aStrously, and with the French
being forced to back up in Indo-
China and act extremely polite,
the Japanese hold all kinds Of
new advantages. II the Siamese
come definitely under Japanese
influence, it would turn the
French flank in Indo-C China, the
Dutch flank in Netherland India,
and the British position at
Singapore. It is the change in
the value of Singapore which Is
most striking. 1t seems obvious
that Singapore is no longer a
strong position II potential
enemy is powerful in Siam. The
naval value Of Singapore is in
its use as a base for a fleet ready
to advance at any moment into
the Pacific. The moment that
fleet elects to hide behind Singa-
pore instead Of advancing into
the Pacific the whole position is
undermined"
DR.. HUI Shih, China's cultured new

Washington Observations
Far Eastern Authorities Expect Siam to Be Next
Object Of Jupun's Attention in Asia

Stimson's recent public statement
on Japanese aggression in the Far
East, DR.. HUI ran across, for the
first time. the word "jitters." Soon
afterward, in a lecture, by his old
Columbia professor, DR.. John Dewey,
the Ambassador encountered the
word "stooge." Used by such eminent
authorities, the Chinese envoy is
convinced that both words may be
accepted as part and parcel of Eng
lish as It's spoken in these latitudes.

One Of Washingtons foremost
Republicans-a woman who once
was a factor in G. O. P. affairs
expects and deplores the impend-
ing defeat of Dewey in the New
York gubernatorial contest. She
thinks the party made a mistake
in drafting the Manhattan prose-
cutor so early in life, because his
premature relegation to the ranks
OF has-beens might have been
averted and good timber preserved
for use under SUMMER skies. New
York Republicans" says the astute
lady in question, like the Bourbons,
seem to learn nothing by expert
ence. In 1884, they wrecked an un-
commonly promising Republican
career by nominating Bob Moses
for Governor, leading to. a defeat
which marooned him, as far as
future availability was concerned,
just as Tom Dewey's failure next
Tuesday-if he does fail-undoubt-
edly will shelve him."

Speaking of the New York gov

puted to be the Postmaster Generals

continues to be said by some of his
admirers to be his ultimate OBJ

supporter of any ambitions Sunny
