PASS VERDICT ON WAR
JAPANESE ARE PRONE to be too hasty in their judgment of the European war, forming opinions on the superficial appearance of the immediate results, whereas actually a long-range viewpoint should be taken, according to Mr. Kazan Kayahara, veteran newspaper commentator, reports the "Japan Adver- tiser."
Mr. Kayahara, in an article contributed to the "Yamato Shimbun”. comparing the "Policies and Military Tactics of Britain and Germany,” notes a number of potential blunders in the German pro- secution of the war, whereas he believes British tactics have been wholly in harmony with British policies: He expresses very large doubts about an ultimate "final victory" such as Chancellor Adolf Hitler has forecast for the German force.
His recent contribution to the believe that Britain will never "Yamato Shimbun" is translated, forsake the Continent.

SKIPPER TELLS GRAF SPEE STORY IN SHANGHAI
AMONG 61 BRITISH prisoners on the German pocket battleship, the Admiral Graf Spee, at the time of her action with cruisers of the Royal Navy off South America, was Captain W. Stubbs, in command of the s.s. Doric Star, which was sunk by the raider. Captain Stubbs, who is now in Shanghai com- manding another vessel, related to the "North-China Daily News" some of his experiences while on board the warship.

The French country folk crowd- ed around gaping. I was furious, and would have liked to tell them all to go home and not stand there looking at the invaders.
"Recently Germans came to a small macaroni factory near our home and wanted to buy ten tons. The manager said he had only five tons in stock. He was told he had 48 hours in which to pro- duce the ten tons."
