descended so far as to admit that the
boosted victories Of her crack air
squadrons on the Mongolia border
turned out to be draws with no addi-
tional ground gained.
Her Plight
With her further advance in China
stalled and facing an early Chinese
offensive, her financial and economic
status strained to the limit, it has
become of paramount Importance to
secure a negotiated peace, and here
is where the other world powers
come into the picture. With Italy
and Germany unable to give her but
their moral support, and with no
chance to get more than the cash
and carry deal of wal material from
Uncle Sam and with USSR openly
hostile, her only hope centers on a
Munich deal with Great Britain
through Chamberlain. Could Great
Britain only be brought to see that
with her big interests involved, ii
should be her duty to bring her fleet
accompanied by an expeditionary
force and arbitrate the matter for
the good of China and the rest OF
the world. Japan is too naive to
imagine that the English people
would have anything to say in the
matter nor that Stain would be bold
enough to butt in. AS a matter OF
fact, Japan is in an analogies posi-
ton to what Kaiser Bill was in when
he began his negotiated peace" ser
mons and his last offensive drives
for peace.
Crystal Gazing
In Japan's crystal gazing, she has
for some time seen herself domi-
mating all of Asia with a prospect
of debating to the rest of mankind
She failed to see the other side OF
the crystal which showed her cher
ished picture in reverse. 1t showed
where the hateful Chinese had
driven her out of the mainland oil
Asia, where dreadful Stain had
cheated her out of Manchukuo fol-
Sakhalen Island by throwing in &
few filthy fishing concessions tc
boot. To e the Rising Sun fade
over the Asiatic continent and re-
appear as a faded replica floating
over frozen Sakhalin, sunny Philip
pine and the original Nipponese
group was like looking through {
telescope from the wrong end.
The rise of Japan as a world power
was too swift and made her dizzy
in the head. Nations rising to power
with small effort often drop with &
corresponding speed and it is CUES
tionable if Japan can rally enough
support from sympathizing nations
to save her bacon.

Relief Promised Within A Hours

A prodigal sun returned at in- tervals today to plague Father Waterbury who awoke this morn- ing hoping that rain would put the damper on old Sol and his blister ing rays. J. Pluvius who came around to tell him the news early this morning disappeared shortly after 10 o'clock, giving way to an uncomfortable humidity. Then Sun grinned again, and according to the experts, was given a two weeks continuance.
