wants to defeat all possible
challengers before he is called
for service. But there is a posi-

World Affairs

The war in Greece has enter
ed the final phase. 1t is a COM
plete victory for Hitler. The
German machanized steam-roller
has crushed all opposition that
the British and Greeks were
able to muster. True enough the
Germans paid a fearful price,
for they advanced straight into
the face of British and Greek
guns that piled the earth with
thousands and thousands of dead
and wounded, but they won
their point by sheer waste OF
human lives. The feared Anzacs
of Great Britain were defeated
in battle for the first time. The
Greeks, for months victorious
were shattered by the Hitler
hordes that marched straight
the heaviest fire they had to
offer.

There is no mystery about
German victories whatever. The
gains are made by hurting men
and machines against the foe
without regard to cost. The
regiments hurled against the
British and Greeks achieved
victory by leaping on the guns
that were splitting fire and to
get close enough to do that they
were decimated or worse. The
common German soldiers life
is valued at nothing by his otfic-
ers, and if an objective can be

English guns we'll and good.

In the Far East Japan has
about made up her mind to go |
to war for her share Of the
world. Preparations have been
made to meet the threat.
The Nipponese believe that it
is their destiny to rule every
where in the Far East and else
where in time. For SO small a
nation which is at present so
deeply involved with unconquer
able China such ambitions are
practically unattainable and the
Oriental aping white powers is
indeed far from the real thing,
his world is and always will be
different. There are several other
reasons why Japan's greed is
most apt to result in national
suicide. The aid they can get
from Hitler is nothing, the value
of a Russian pact is even less.
Even in event of an Axis win
Japan will gain nothing, but be
merely another Italy. The code
of h e Sumaria is exclusively
Japanese and what other nation
or race gives whoop about it in
their national life? There is but
one international code today
the might of armies and navies.
The world is big enough for
all it's inhabitants. There is no
need to go to war in any case.
