today that recent acts of the Fin

our apprehension that it is fully CO.

its campaign in Russia. Apparent
ly the announcement represented a
renewal of this Governments ef-
fort to bring about a cessation of

1t also paved the way for strong
American action if Finland does not
take the hint contained in the an
nouncement and try again to ex-
plain its belligerency in a way more
satisfactory to Washington.
The announcement appeared to be
an American appeal, outside normal
diplomatic channels, to American
public opinion on the delicate
question of Finnish relations.
The announcement complained
that Finland had avoided the CEN
trail question relating to Finnish

In Favor Of

Held Convinced
They Must Fight
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
MANILA, Nov. 28.-ReSpOnSible
Far Eastern authorities predicted
tonight that current efforts to
insure American-Japanese peace
would fail and that this would
cause replacement of the Toto
government in Japan by another
fully committed to war pro-
gram.
The post -Tojo government. they
said. probably would complete prep
arationS for new offensive action in
Asia and for an eventual clash in
which Japan would be ranged along
side Germany against the Anglo
Saxon powers.
Information from Japan was said
to indicate the next cabinet might
be headed by 1t Gen. Seishiro Ita-
gaki. former War Minister and now
commander OF the army in Korea.
Japan Has Two Choices.
He is considered one of the most
widely experienced of Japans mill
tary leaders; he has been a domi-
nant figure in the army clique's con-
troll of imperial policy since Japan
launched her expansion program by
seizing Manchuria 10 years ago.
Japan is held to face only two
choices in order to escape her pres
ent predicament, in which she finds
herself cut off from vitally needed
economic resources with her ma
tional economy sputtering to halt
for want OF raw materials.
The first of these is to accept the
United States terms and withdraw
from the continent OF Asia and quit
the Axis.
War Is Seen Choice.
But competent Far Eastern OBJ
servers agree that 1t is not in
Japans character to retreat now,
especially under the present lead
ership of militarists who are con-
vinced that Japan has reached a
crucial point in her history and
must join Germany's fight and con-
uuer the Orient. OF else be subser-
Went to the United States for an
indefinite future
Therefore, it is generally believed
throughout the Far East. including
Japan, that Japan must shortly
adopt the second alternative-war.
