If the Japanese are determined to force a showdown between
themselves and the West in Asia, is there any way to give them as good as they send?

This blockade would mean that no Japanese merchant ship could go to any port in the Western Hemisphere, or to any East Indies port, or to Europe via the Indian Ocean.

Japanese trade would be con- fined to the Asiatic mainland where Japan is currently having grave trouble making the Chinese buy any Japanese goods, and no success at all in making them like it.

“CUT THE KNOT"

Warsaw, To-day. "We would go to war with the feeling that the historic operation for Poland's future is to be car- ried out and that Poland's return to the family of free nations is to be completed," says the "Express. Poranny" in 'an editorial on Sun- day.
"It might become necessary to cut the knot in a radical manner, so that conditions at the mouth of the Vistula, as set down by the treaty of Versailles, are improved in favour of Poland," declares the paper, which adds that the Poles would go to war for Danzig in the move against Japan. The people

Such an American-British ef- west one went in his country, the fort to throttle Japan into tapering stronger the sentiment one would off its Asiastic imperialism would find for such an American-British not have to be confined to a joint blockade. Chiang Kai-shek's Chin- ese fighting forces could be aided even more than they are being aided now, by increased shipment of American and British war sup- plies to the Chinese interior via British Burma and French Indo- China.
It seems to us that any boy can grasp this proposition: That if Japan is allowed to go ahead with its present Asiatic conquests and to organise China into a vast work- shop, soldier training school and raw material warehouse for Ja- pan, it will be at least six times harder for the United States and Great Britain to halt Japan than We imagine that the farther it would be at the present time.
Japan, being already in fairly desperate atraits in its war in China, the process of squeezing the Japanese military caste to its knees ought not to take very long. Our guess purely ta guess→ would be a year or 80.
