Inc IOre1SD minister,
Wang Chung-Hui told interview
ers; "Roosevelt's reelection shows
that the American people endorse
his poll y, more especially his
firm stand against appeasion -.
the Chinese people r gratified
at Roosevelts success. They deeply
appreciate all he has done for the
cause for which China is fighting"
Japan alone of the big three
totalital n bloc furni~' outright
official comment, the fore--n Of
flee spokesman declaring that
President Roosevelt should make
REORGANIZATION of the United States
far eastern policy. . One of the
first task because Asiatic af-
fairs present a difficult situation
for the United State.
Stronger comment came from
the Tokyo newspaper Yomiuri,
which lid Mr.. Roosevelt's reelec-
ton completely destroyed the pro-
spect improvement of Japanese
American relations which, the pa
per added, can be accomplished
only through American reconsid-
Grafton Of her present policies. 3
Military geography, internal poll
tics historic friendships and pressure
of circumstances dicated the world
response.
The press of conquered France dis
creetly gave secondary prominence
to the Roosevelt victory-preferring
to dwell on Chief of State Petain's
current tour Of southern France -
and the only official comment was
that France was more concerned
with building up Europe"
LIE Temps, commenting that the
third term was the main issue, said
1T might be deduced that respect
for certain political traditions have
weakened on the other side of the
Atlantic and that Roosevelt's policy
has sensibly modified. the spirit Of
the new American generations.'
Interested Bystander"
Authorized quarters in Berlin pic
tured Germany as merely IAN inter-
ested bystander" with IAN almost
sportive interest" in the result which
it was said there as we'll as in Rome,
the axis powers had anticipated.
GLOW Roosevelt will govern, how
he will make good his pledges to
women's and mems organizations
and christian sects is a question OF
time" they added, apparently refer
ring to the Presidents commitment
against United States entry into war
except in case Of attack.
1--WE cannot prognosticate. The big
participation in the elections lndlcat-
ed how deeply the question of keep
ing out of war stirred the American
people,"
High Fascists in Rome indicated
they had accepted Mr.. Ro%osevelt's
reelection as foregone; that they re-
gard him as hostile to Italy but con-
slider his pledge Of American neutral
ity as rejecting the desire of the
American people.

commentator, wrote in II Giornale
D'Italia:
1.-THE United States attitude to-
ward the European war which does
not and cannot touch the United
States is a question concering above
all the United States citizens, their
property and their fate"
Newspapers in Rome refrained
from printing any reports on the
election on the grounds that the
figures available in Rome are still
contradictory" the Rome radio ex-
planned in an evening broadcast.
"since the foreign political line OF
both candidates is virtually the same
and is being supported by English
propaganda the election is looked
upon with Indifference" the radio
said. 'This attitude explains why
the Italian press did not sensational
ize the presidential election"
