WAR FINANCE NUMEROUS REASONS have been advanced as to why Japan should be finding a lack of enthusiasm among different
classes of her people in responding to the invitation of Hitler,, Mussolini & Co. to bind herself more closely to the European Axis." It is a well known fact that Tokyo is tied up with the totalitarian states in spite of the fact that the arrange- ments have not been publicly disclosed, but the main rea- son why she has not shown more enthusiasm is her finan- cial position.

DURING 1938, the Japanese Government issued obliga tions of every description Y.4,330,000,000, aggregating and of these China Incident Bonds were responsible for Y.3,600,000,000. Though Tokyo is exerting all efforts to put on a brave showing," actual facts prove that she is sailing through exceptionally rough waters and it is difficult to visualize her weathering the storm successfully.
May we then, on this Good- will Day, dedicate ourselves afresh to the service of our fellows in ever-widening cir- cles, to the service of our home, of our neighbourhood, of our country so that our country may better serve the world to which we all belong?

CHINA & UNITED STATES NEUTRALITY ACT
Agitation In America For Revision: Widespread Movement
The agitation that has been going on in the United States of America for a revision of the much discussed Neutrality Act has gathered more and more impetus as American citizens who have spent the greater part of their lives in China furnish the U.S. Government with valid and cogent reasons why such a re- vision has become increasingly necessary. Chief among those who have, championed China's cause in this respect is the Rey, Dr. William H.
