mutual defense pact with Hungary
and began leading new pro-Fascist
Balkan entente in which Bulgaria
will be member.
Strategically located Rumania now
becomes the focal point, wooed des-
perately by democracies as the last
hope of stopping solid dictator
front in southeast Europe, yet in
clined to conform with Nazi de-
mands on pain of invasion from
land-hungry Jugoslavia, Hungary
and Bulgaria.
Deeper in the Balkans, British
French alliances with Greece and
Turkey may meet similar fate.
Though expressing gratitude to the
democracies for guaranteeing her
integrity, Greece has announced she
seeks to remain on friendly basis
with the Axis powers who now
threaten her entire northern front
via Albania, Jugoslavia and Bull
garia. Meanwhile Turkey has given
Germany a contract to build her
$12,000,000 new naval base and
granted Lufthansa, German airline,
an operating concession.
With the Balkans apparently lost
to Naziism, Britain's last chance for
anything like a parity of European
power lies in the last-resort military
treaty with Russia. The unexpected
return to Berlin of Ambassador Sir
Neville Henderson has given rise to
belief that Britain may seek peace
with the Reich rather than accept
a Russian pact. Furthermore,
Frances move to return her Ger
man ambassador, coupled with ru-
mors of U. S. trade concessions to
peaceful Hitler, produces a world
wide atmosphere suspiciously like
the long-since discredited instru-
ment of "appeasement."

Asia

Asia
Primarily an exporter of cheap
substitutes, Japan's foreign trade is
normally unbalanced on the debit
side since total value of exports falls
short of total imports. Biggest sin
gle export, however, has been
precious silk to the U. S., a $780,
100000 annual trade which brings
an average of $50 to each of 1885,
246 Jap families raising cocoons as
sideline. But recently u. S. chem
lists perfected nylon, a synthetic
substance which threatens to re-
place Japanese silk. An important
discovery in itself, nylon has upset
Nippon's business applicant far
enough to precipitate major indus
trial revolution. With cotton imports
curtailed and its u. S. market dis
appearing, Jap silk production will
become smaller and sale restricted
to domestic markets.
Thus forced into even greater self
sufficiency, Japan has launched a
three-year program of industrial ex-
pansion with the double purpose of
giving its people hope and informing
other nations of its strength. SAM
pie production increases: Magne-
SUM, 1000 per cent; artificial gaso-
line, 800 per cent; dehydrated alco-
hol, 1900; wool, 200; steel, pig iron,
machine tools, 100.
Noteworthy is the heavy emphasis
on iron ore and gasoline, both of
which have been purchased entirely
abroad, and both of which will be
needed the day Japan tackles Russia
in great Asiatic war. .Sampling
its first fruits of conquest, Tokyo
will depend largely on Chinese and
Manchukuoan resources.

Transportation

On some future date all U. S.
motorists may be forced to insure
against public liability and property
damage, a coverage at once most
essential Ito protect fellow motor
ists) and most ignored because of
high rates.. Originally a rich mans
insurance, "P. L. and P. D." was
offered mainly by 81 member COM
panies of the National Bureau of
Casualty and Surety Underwriters,
who eventually began losing bust
ness to newer, lower priced COM
panies. To recover business, bu-
reau firms have just effected new
low prices in 80 states, cutting 20
to Is per cent from rates charged
private motorists. Thus a down.
ward price trend has been stimulat-
ed, which may eventually place Ii
ability rates at a point where state
legislatures can make this coverage
mandatory without suffering undue
criticism.
