into independence in 1914, as Uncle
Sam originallyyhad planned. If they
do get their Independence, he's con-
WINGED tlsr Japan will take it away
from EN- in short order and he'd a
deal rather have EN- dependent on

knows more about the Japs than
he does, it's the Japs themselves,
and they won't tell. He will, and he
certainly is an authority.
More than anything else In ere
alton, explains the doc, what the
Japs want is TO have the bulk Of
the Yankee fleet filter out Of the
Pacific into the Atlantic. After the
American fleets done that, il it
does II, then look out for EN- to at
tempt corking up the canal, to keep
the United States warships bottled
up in the western ocean, as far as
possible.
You see" continues our Filipino
visitor, who also has specialized on
Germany in connection with his
study Of the Oriental situation,
"the Mikado and Herr Hitler really
haven't a thing in common despite
their Axis compact.
The Nazis naturally don't want
war with the United States. Not
yet I mean. They're too busy else
where. But they do want Japan at
war with Uncle Samuel, because
that would force him to concen-
trate in the laps direction, largely
eliminating him as an Atlantic
oceanic factor.
Japan's Hope
But Japan doesn't want war
with Uncle Sammy, either. War
with this country would distract
Nippon's attention from a lot Of
grabbing It's endeavoring to put
across in Asia and the Pacific. But
the Mikado surely does want Ger
many and the United States al
war. That would leave the Japs
comparatively fire. to 90 ahead
with their Oriental and Australia
sian grabbing.
That's the whole secret of the
Jap-Axis decker.
Japan and Germany each aimed
at enucing the other into doing its
chestnut-pulling Neither wants
war with the United Statesmen
now. Each wants the other to 90
into it.
"Jap-German economic aims
clash, too.
Germany, II II wins the war,
hopes to get back into Asia on
big commercial and maybe terri
torial scale. 1t was we'll intrenched
there before the last World war,
but Japan took advantage Of that
conflict to chase the kaiser out
Of il.
The Germans, provided they're
VICTORIOUS in europe this time. will
try 70 recover all they lost prev-
ously and a lot more also. They
won't pay a cents worth Of atten-
ton to the Japs claims and the
Japs know it,
The Japs' scheme is TO finish off
all Occidental influence on their
part Of the globe, lard and water
Germanys influence included.
Herr Hitler talks about a new
order
A Trife One Sided
The Mikado talks about Pan
Asiacic cooperation. That is, the
rest Of Asia's to produce raw ma
terials. Insular Japan hasn't the
room or soil or sources TO produce
EN-. But the Japs are to process
the raw STUFF. In other words,
they're to boss the job ard SCOOP. in
SO per cent Of the profits. The rest
Of US are to be the hewers Of wood
and drawers Of water.
What we non-Jap Asiatlcs are
afraid Of is that well get nothing
but the Co, with the Japs getting
all the operation
However. that's distinct from
the question Of war between the
United States, Japan and Germany.
Uncle Sans strong point is
this:
Germany desperately desires a
Jap-American war and Japan des-
Perately desires German Ameri-
can war, but Germany doesn't want
10 start II for Japan's benefit and
Japan doesn't want to start II for
Germanys benefit.
