international News Review
By GEORG STRANDVOLD

Last weeks major event In the
international field, to some extent
foreshadowed here, was the signing
at Berlin of treaty of alliance be-
tween Germany, Italy and Japan.
In the preamble it was set forth
that the agreement was to pave the
way for a new world order" and
for universal peace to be brought
about, incidentally, by the thre
greatest militarist nations on earth;
they solemnly accepted the RESPONSE
bility for the re-establishment Of
peace.
There were six published articles
in the treaty, the two first expressing
Japan's recognition of German and
Italian leadership in Europe, and
German and Italian recognition of
Japan's leadership in East Asia.
In the third section the three
powers agree to cooperate for the
purpose of bringing about the
new world order"-to cooperate,
that is, in a political, economic
and military sense, in case a
power, not now involved in the
current wars, intervenes in the
conflicts in Europe and Asia.
In the fourth section it is stipu-
lated that the details of cooperation
are to be worked out by committees;
in the fifth it is emphasized that the
relations of Soviet Russia to each of
the signatory powers undergo no
change, and in the sixth, provision
is made for the validity of the treaty
for a period of ten years.
u. S. Attitude.
Although there is not in the known
parts of the treaty single reference
to the United States, it is pretty gen.
orally felt that the treaty is result
of the concerted desire, on the part
of the totalitarian powers, to keep
this country out of the wars; official
and semi-offcial comments in Berlin
Rome and Tokyo make it rather clear
that any aid which the United States
may extend to Great Britain and
China at war will be looked on with
misgivings, and may cause trouble.
1t is said, but not confirmed,
that somewhere in the treaty is

America, Asia, Europe.
In Germany, Italy and Japan it is
reiterated that since the United States
has it's Monroe Doctrine protecting
all American countries, and tolerat-
ing no European or other Interior
ence, Europe and Asia are justified
in telling America to keep hands off
their continents. If America for the
Americans" then, with equal force,
Europe for the Europeans!" and
"Asia for the Asiatics!" it is argued.
To some extent, this viewpoint
seems to be shared by official Wash
ington, for Undersecretary of State
Sumner Welles in public speech has
made it very clear that there are no
controversies between this country
and Japan that cannot be solved
peaceably. There is no American
desire to influence European and Ash
attic affairs, he said-and, also-there
is no desire to yield to brutality.
Embargo.
Theoretically, that is no doubt cor
rect, for the United States govern
ment has not gone beyond the letter
of its own neutrality law. Within
the frames of that act it has, how
ever, helped Great Britain by hand
ing over fifty destroyers-in exchange
for naval and air bases on British
islands along the American coasts
and it has helped China again by ex-
tending to it an additional credit of
twenty-five million dollars while at
the same time placing an embargo
on the expectation of scrap iron and
steel to Japan, as it had already
stopped the export of oil to that ag-
gressor country.
All this has been done in very
literal conformity with the neu-
trality law and with, no doubt,

Priests, Many0
Al Georgetown u.

Among Registrars

More than a score of the Jesuit
priests and scholastics on the
faculty of Georgetown University
joined other eligibles from the Hill
top last Wednesday in registering
under the Nations first peacetime
selective service law.
Among the first of the priests to
give their names were the Rev. John
E. Wise, S. j., dean of freshmen,
and the Rev. David P Madden, S. j.,
minister of the college Father
Wise, a native of Washington, is in
his second year on the college
faculty.
All the IS Jesuit scholastics who
are members of the teaching staff
were within the age limits of the
Selected Service Act, as we'll as
many of the younger laymen on the
faculty. A partial list of other
Jesuit priests who registered at
Western High School included the
Rev. Martin j. O'Gara, the Rev.
William j. Deylin, the Rev. Joseph
M. Geib and the Rev. Daniel E.
Power.
DIR. Lane Registers.
DR.. Anton Lang, formerly of
Oberammergau, Germany, but now
an American citizen, was one of the
first laymen on the faculty to
respond to the call. A son of the
late Anton Lang, prominent in the
role of the Christus in the Passion
Play at Oberammergau, DR. Lang
has been on the Georgetown faculty
for several years
The registration list also included
DR.. James s. Ruby, executive sec
retary of the alumni associa ton:
DR.. James F. Leahigh, registrar of
the graduate school, and John D.
Lane, secretary to the president of
the university.
While none of the Jesuits is likely
to be called into active service,
several of the Georgetown priests
served as Army chaplains or volun-
teered for other essential COM
batant duties in the World War.
DR.. Edmund A. Walsh, S. j.. regent
OF the foreign service school, was
one of them.
No record was kept by the uni
versity of the number of students
who were required to register, but
the proportion of registrants among
the law, medical and dental
students, especially. was very large.
Most of them are college graduates
and well within the age limit.

Due to the suspension of regular
classes at the college during three
