Stress on Economics.

Another interesting appointment. with
liberal overtones, is that of Vice Admiral
Sakonji as Minister of Commerce and
Industry. Admiral Sakonjis retirement
from the Navy some years ago was said
to be due at least in part to his support
Of Japanese naval limitation on a basis
inferior to that of the American fleet.
He has lately been president of the
North Saghalien Oil Co, operating in
the Russian half of that island to the
north of Japan which all japanese think
should come under their sovereignty.
But the most important change in
the new cabinet. certainly from the
viewpoint of Japanese American rela-
tions. is the replacement OF Foreign
Minister Matsuoka by Admiral Toyoda.

void of the political showmanship and
personal ambition which got Matsuoka
out on a limb, is Junior in his service

BY the same token. pessimism as to the
eventual outcome will deepen If the Ger

lowed by cooperative japanese action
which confronts the United States with
the prospect of war on two fronts.
In the composition OF the new Japa-

reason to anticipate a leadership which
would rather work with the United States
than with Germany and which would not
be indisposed to make concessions to the
American viewpoint if reciprocal will

Possibility That Japanese War Machine Will Strike
Northward as Well as Southwark
Foreseen by Observers
By Felix Morley.

After the ousting of Foreign Minister
Matsuoka, and the subsequent reorgan-
ization of the cabinet of Prince Konoye,
there was much speculation as to whether
the next japanese move would be south
ward, in the general direction of Singa-
pore or to the north, into Eastern ST.
IBERIA. That issue has been settled by
the agreement with Vichy. which gives
Japan control in the rich French colony
of IndoChina.
There remains, however, the possibility
that Japan will strike almost simulta-
neouslv north as we'll as south, in de-
termined effort to establish her new
order in Greater East Asia" beyond hope
of overthrow. Immediate expansion to
the north, however, seems less likely than
a policy of watchful waiting with ulti-
mate decision partly contingent on the
result of the German invasion OF Russia.
The one certainty is that this German
action. which brought the fall of Mat
suoka. has given Japan certain freedom
of choice which may be used for either
constructive or destructive ends Japan

ally marched into Russia little more than
two months after Matsuoka had con-
cluded a solemn treaty of non-aggres-
sion with the Soviet Union. The result
ing confusion has weakened the bonds OF
the tri-partite alliance and made the
policies of the new japanese government
of the utmost importance TO the future
course of the war.
In this situation there is certainly
great responsibility. and there would seem
to be great opportunity, for American
craftsmanship 1t would be a diplomatic
triumph of the first water if the United
States could now detach Japan from the

At per cent of the 29,67O drivers in

"Fifty-tWo per cent of the GAL

White House Agency
Saved From Eviction
By Warren's S Ruling
Controller General Ends
Threatened Legal
Mixup Over Rent

Smoothing out a threatened legal
tangle Controller General Warren
has averted the possibility of
White House agency being "evicted"
from the old Porter home at 1900 l
street NV, for non-payment Of
rent.
The property, occupied by the
Division of Defense Housing Co.
ordination, is held by the Library
of Congress Trust Fund Board. Fed
eral Works Administrator John M
Carmody asked the Controller Cen
eral if the board was to be con-
sidered as Federal agency and,
therefore, prohibited from receiving
the $4,000 annual rental agreed on
from another Government agency.
If that proved to be the case, he
added, the site could not be re-
tanned as the trust fund board could
neither impoveriSh the body of the
trust nor permit tenancy even for
such governmental needs as may
arise out of emergency conditions
except on the basis of reasonable
compensation.
Controller General Warren, how
ever. adjusted the matter in a de-
cision today.
Whether the board is or is not to
be regarded as governmental
agency" he ruled. 'it holds legal
title to the property as trustee for
the purposes of the trust under
which title was accepted by the
board, and the United States, gen.
orally, has no right to the beneficial
use of the property except upon pay
ment of proper compensation in
furtherance of the purposes of the
trust"
The trust was established as a
memorial to Henry Kirke Porter by
his daughter, Annie May Hageman.
The exchange between the Con-
troller General and the Federal
Works Administrator, incidentally,
indicated that the Government had
gotten a rental bargain in taking
over the property. On the basis of
the assessed valuation the Govern
ment would be permitted to pay
nearly $4,000 rental annually. The
board had suggested that the rental
he fixed at $4,000, but agreed to
take $4,000.
