Japan Is Using Caution
Odds Against More Military Adventures;
Naval Heads Cooled by Firm U. S. Attitude

1t is not only that Mussolini is ap-
pealing for help to Hitler, but both
Hitler and Mussolini are appealing
for help to the Japanese Army
chiefs.
Let Japan Strike In East.
Let Japan strike at the same time
in the East as Hitler does toward
the Mediterranean, and he assures
them he has only to deliver the last
blow against the British Empire by
the invasion of Great Britain.
He will cut the Mediterranean
lifeline while Japan's navy over
whelms the few British warships in
Far Eastern waters and her sub
marines and cruisers cut the British
lifeline from the Suez to Australia.
But it is sea power which Japan
is risking at the command of the
military chiefs who cannot move
their army to Indo-China, occupy
the Dutch East Indies, or besiege
Singapore without the assent and
protection of the navy. The navy
controls transport. The Japanese
naval chiefs oppose going south"
(by which they mean to the Dutch
East 1ndies) or in any way exposing
a long line of communications They
do not want to get into the position
where they might have to face the
United States Navy in open battle.
The Japanese naval chiefs are
perfectly aware Of the strength of
our Navy. They know further they
can never build up to our two-ocean
program. Prince Konoye will not
have to wait for word from Admiral
Nomura to know the determination
of the United States in her prepara-
tions to aid Britain to the limit.
Influencing the Princes wise eau
ton is the unrest and WEAKNESS Of
the Japanese people under 'the
strain Of the long struggle in China
and all Japanese business interests
who take the long view and are
sobered by the fact that the
Japanese yen can be bought in the
New York market for far less than
the quoted exchange rate.
Statesmen Gaining Ground.
However. when Japanese states
men reason with the group Of army
chiefs, they reply: I'VE have the
army and what are you going to do
about it?" Reports from Japan
which tell Of the battle raging be-
tween the two groups say that the
statesmen are gaining ground over
the mllitarists. They realize that
should Britain win and Japan find
herself at war with the United
States and Britain, Japan's posi-
ton would be untenable. We can
confidently hold to our firm atti-
tude.
What Admiral Nomura asks is
patience on our part in the hope
that the military group will be dis
suaded from another gamble which
will bring eventual disaster TO Japan.
Any japanese attempt to take Singa-
pore will mean a costly and pro-
longed defense to the death by the
weu-prepared British defenders,
while British submarines will strike
from British bases In Malaysia at
Japanese warships and conveys.

Bodies Of 7 Students Found

BY the Associated Press.
OAKLAND, Calf. Feb. IT.
Sheriffs deputies found the bodies
Of a University Of California youth
and coed yesterday In the wreckage
Of a plane on Grizzly Peak, near
Oakland.
The two, Kenneth Adams Kennedy
and Doris Ann Thomas, both 81,
took off from the Oakland Airport
in a rented plane Saturday for a
half-hour flight. Mr.. Kennedy re-
Gently received his pilots license.
When they failed to report back
with the low-powered plane, which
carried only enough gasoline for two
hours flight, search was started.
Mr.. Kennedy, whose father, Ken
meth A. Kennedy, was passenger
on the Hawaiian Clipper which dis
appeared near Manila in July, 1888,
is survived by his mother, Mrs.
Marjory Kennery Kahn of Brent
wood, and two sisters, Mrs. Marjory
Wilson, Oakland, and Lynette Ken

Indies. Col. Frederick Palmer.
An analysis of the Asiatic situation
on the basis of information that
I have leads to the conclusion that
only small group of army chiefs
in Japan would choose to run the
slightest risk of war with us. But
an incident in the course of a reck-
less adventure by this group might
embroil us. The danger is the ad-
venture can be undertaken with
the assent merely of the japanese
naval chiefs. The invasion of China
was done that way, without a 60
ahead from the Emperor. The mill
tary may even go over the head
of Prince Konoye, the Premier.
When Prince Fumimaro Konoye
negotiated the tripartite agreement
with the axis powers the Germans
had launched their LuftWaffe over
England in full force and Hitler was
moving his barges into the invasion
ports. Gen. Rodolfo Graziani was
already at Sidi Barrani, preparing
for that boasted Italian advance
to the Suez Canal.
1t looked as though Japan had
picked the winner in siding with
the axis powers. She would be ready
to jump in for an Asiatic share of
the spoils, in the collapse of the
British Empire, and the army chiefs
would have a chance to save face
for their slow, costly, fruitless prog
ress in China.
Months Bring Change.
But what a change in the months
that elapsed before the arrival of
Kichisaburo Nomura in Washing
ton. just after the fall of Bengazi
and the Greeks reported another
batch Of Italian prisoners taken in
Albania!
Prince Konoye and Foreign Min
lister Yosuke Matsuoka are far
from talking in the aggressive
fashion they did after the signing
of the tripartite agreement. They
are glad they made combat action
on behalf of their allies subject to
their own judgment Ambassador
Nomura is the convinced emissary
to carry out their propitiatory pol
icy.
Meanwhile, more than ever, the
Japanese Army chiefs have need to
save face after they have with
drawn troops from their front line
in Southern China In evident mo-
bilization for a Malaysian offensive.
