wealthy and powerful to afford

wealthy and powerful to afford
them"
Japanese are wholly sold on the
theory of have" and have not"
nations.
Many Japanese appear to enjoy
picturing themselves as the typical
underprivileged state, naked and
hungry, poor in resources, and sur
rounded by giants who bar the way
to markets and materials.
To some extent, the picture is
true But the Japanese colors gen.
orally are more vivid than the facts,
The giants in the case formerly
were China and Russia.
japanese believe the one has been
pretty well eliminated, and just
now, for axis reasons, the other is
being known as 'our northern
neighbor."
Britain and the United States
have fallen heir to the old Chinese
and Russian roles. Particularly the
United States.
Matsuoka's Speech.
Thus, recently, a speech by For
eign Minister Matsuoka before the
Institute of the Pacific, an organi-
zation of highly-placed Japanese:
Imagine two different nations.
one small in area, poor in natural
resources and heavily populated;
the other large in area blessed with
good resources and thinly populated.
Suppose, further, that a situation
develops wherein the normal flow
of goods between them is impeded
seriously by tariff walls, immigra-
ton restrictions and other bar
riers.
I'VE can hardly expect the alb
senece of conflict between such
countries. I am afraid that not a
few so-calleed Pacific questions may
be traced to just such contradict
tions and injustices.'
Note that the foreign minister
named no names and gave no street
numbers. They were not necessary
for his audience.
Nevertheless, with these words. he
touched the handspring of Japan's
policies and actions.
japanese efforts, almost since the
country was opened, have been di-
rected toward obtaining a greater
share in the worlds wealth. This
urge has actuated the wars and the
political maneuvering.
Meaning of New Order.
1t is the true meaning beneath
the phrase, "the new order in East
Asia
1t is the reason for the alliance
with Germany and Italy, who claim
they are fighting for the same prin-
ciple in their corners of the world.
Japanese insist their drive toward
the have nation status does not
affect the United States directly.
They believe the two paths need not
interSect. Their expansion. they
say, is not in any way, at the
expense of the United States.
They will admit it must be at
the expense of China, the British
Empire. and, perhaps, ultimately
Soviet Russia. But they cannot un-
derstand how the favorable Ito
them redistribution of territories
in the Far East can concern the
United States.
Japan's conception of the British
American colossus" springs from the
supposed American desire to MAIN
tain the status quo throughout the
world. for the permanent benefit of
the have" nations. and at the per-
manent expense of the have nots."
The Japanese do not expect the
new order in East Asia" to receive
the British-American blessing. So,
they reason. they may as we'll sink
or swim with the axis.

Grew Warns Japan
U.S.. Will Judge
Solely by Acts

TOKYO, Dec. 19. tUP)-Joseph
Clark Grew, outspoken American
ambassador, told a distinguished
Japanese luncheon audience today
that Americans were firmly deter
mined to fulfill their obligations
and uphold their rights and that
they would judge Japan by its
acts, not by the persuasive garb
in which its acts were clad.
Grew spoke at a luncheon of
the Japan-America society, a fare
we'll to Admiral Kichisaburo No.
mura. new japanese ambassador
to the United States.
Both Nomura and Foreign Min
lister YoSuke Matsuoke, in speeches
preceding Crews, had emphasized
the present strain in Japanese
American relations, and attributed
the strain to American misunder-
standing of japanese policy. They
hoped better relations would be
possible.

Fortress Crashes into
Idylwild Mountain
Six Perish When Flying

MARCH FIELD, CAL, Dec.
19. (UP)-The crash of a
four motored army flying
fortress which killed six air
corps officers and enlisted
men was attributed tentatively to-
day to failure of the gasoline sup
ply.
The plane, a 22-ton Boeing bonn
Der, plowed into the heavily tim
bered slope of Marion mountain,
near Idyllwild, Cal, and burst into
flames. The bodies of all crew men,

and the big plane was a heap of
molten metal.
March Field officials believed the
crash occurred while the pilot was
attempting to switch his gasoline
supply, but ordered a thorough in
vestigation by board of inquiry.
The crash was the first accident
involving the new Boeing bomber
since its adoption by the army air
corps as standard bombardment
equipment, although its prototype

this number will be doubled.
Coincident with the revelation
that the British have been given a

creation of a defense council COM

Roosevelt, who also told the British
they could negotiate for the orders
but asked them not to place con-
tracts until after he has consulted
with congress on his plan to take
over British commitments, pay for
them and then lend them to Brit
ain.
Secretary of the Treasury Hen
ry Morgenthau, jr., disclosed the
plan at a press conference today.
He said, however, that the presi-
dent had placed no restriction on
British plans to enter into contracts
for construction in this country of
