Nazis DECORATING
Berlin Lavish|y
For Matsuoka
Preparations for Visit
Are Most Elaborate
Since War Began
BY DAVID M. NICHOL.

Chicago Daily News Foreign Correspondent.
BERLIN, March 22.-From all ap-
pearances today, Japanese Foreign
Minister Yosuke Matsuokas visit to
Berlin, beginning next Wednesday,
Will be accompanied by all the
showmanship and propaganda of
which the Nazis are capable, and
they are masters in these arts.
Berlin already is undergoing some
external transformations. Flag
poles have sprouted from every
building along Unter Den Linden
and the Wilhelmstrasse. Truck
loads of the huge scarlet banners
are being distributed. Four wide
pylonS, topped by nests of flagstaffs,
suddenly have appeared in Pariser-
platz, adjoining the famous Bran
denburgerton, where Matsuoka may
review units of the German armed
forces.
Not since the war began have such
preparations been made for a for
eign visitor and only when the
Fuehrer and the troops returned
from the victorious western cam
paign has the city been so deco
rated. Soviet Premier Foreign
CommisSar Vacheslaff M. Molotoff's
visit in November, for example, was
accompanied by almost no display
and relatively little public cere-
mony as marked the comings and
goings of the European political
leaders during the fashioning of the
new order"
In pace with the physical changes
of the city, the emotional tenor il
being stepped up. The hour will
soon strike" is a slogan which is
often repeated, sometimes with
minor variations, but always with
the indication that Germany is on
the verge of that fateful spring"
about which its leaders have been
warning the world for several
months.
The extent to which the japanese
visit is being counted on here to off,
set are passage of the leaSe-lend
bill Is perhaps indicated by an
editorial in the magazine, Berlin
Rome-Tokio, which will appear
next week. The magazine, which
usually speaks for the Foreign Office
says the opponents of the three
power pact, "the English and the
Americans" had attempted to dis
credit the treaty by asserting that
Japan was not in position to full
fill its obligations toward the axis
and that the axis could give little
aid to Japan.
This has proved not to be the
case" the editorial says fatty, ar
guing that American concern can
be detected in the efforts of the
American press to turn Japan away
from the three-power pact" and in
the discussions about American aid
IN maintaining the weakened"
British bases in the Pacific.

rience that can be rallied to the
task.
In this war Great Britain seeks
no selfish end. Its immediate
cause, as in 1914, was the Ger
man breach of a treaty on the
one hand, and the fulfillment of
a treaty by Great Britain on the
other. The ultimate cause was
Germany's lust for world power
and the concentration of her re-
sources for the single purpose
of military conquest Therefore,
it most be our aim in the pres
ent war to convince the people
of Germany that these tradi-
tional ambitions and methods do
not pay. One of the greatest
tragedies of this time is that for
years German youth has been
impelled by its rulers to the pur-
suit of spurious ideals and the
worship of false gods. The gulf
that has thus been dug between
them and our own younger gen.
erations will take time to bridge.
And, therefore, after the war is
over, and until We can be satis-
fed of Germany's cooperation,
I can hardly doubt that nations
resolved to preserve both peace
and freedom must needs retain
sufficient armed strength TO make
their will effective.
I dare to hope that in this as
in other matters our two. peoples
will appreciate the immense re-
Sponslbility that will Jointly rest
upon them; and that, in the
words of Pascal, I'VE may COM
bine justice and power. making

what Is just strong, and what is

or our cooperation deserve and
win the support of all other
peoples, like-minded with our
selves to strengthen the founda-
tions of world society.
Thus only will it be possible to
insure that neither Germany nor
any other nation shall revert, or
has any reason to revert, to those
policies which have plunged Eu-
rope into five wars within the
last eighty years.
