w that first hand interpreta-

sonally to decide Japan will be
crushed and reduced 10 an in
ferior Asiatic position by an
Allied victory. The main point
of the announcement. therefore.
was somewhat prosaic. But the
military decisions are apt to be
something else again.
The political implication was
that China will dominate the
whole Asia territory in the post
war era. Certainly there will
be no other nation 10 balance or

THE danger of complete Chi
l. nese domination of course,
is that such setup will create
an Asiastic nationalistic force of
great mower
The authorities here. however,
say China is now So weak politi-
cally. economically. and finan-
cially. that the assignment of
this power to her could not pos
sibly raise her up TO become a
world force for perhaps 20 TO 25
years. Indeed, most Chinese
authorities i'm the administra-
tion expect financial collapse
after the war.
But, on the military side. the
