THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXTRACT FROM THE WHITE PAPER CONCERNING THE TREATMENT OF GERMAN NATION- ALS IN GERMANY (1938-39).
Below is given the statement by a Jewish-Christian pri- soner communicated to the Foreign Office on October 28, 1938, by a Charity Organisation working in Germany,

to avert his own collapse and at the same time reap profits from his aggression. Els adoption of this illusory course coincided in point of time with the fall of the Hiranuma Qabinet and the forma- tion of the Abe Cabinet. It hing- ed on the circumstance of the out- break of war in Europe. Of late this policy has assumed even more bewildering äspects.
Therefore, today, at the opening meeting of the plenary session, I wish to say a few words on the general tendencies in the Far East, on the Japanese militarists' stupid schemes and on the relationship between China's war of resistance and the future welfare of the world.

Abe's announced policy is "not to take part in the European war but to devote all efforts toward the liquidation of the China Incident." He explained that the emphasis of his cabinet's polloy would be laid on the "China Incident."
His ways of handling the "in- eldent" are: Firstly, to establish a puppet central government in China before proceeding with other measures, secondly, to appease all nations having inter- ests in the Far East so as to fact- litate the liquidation of the "China Incident," and thirdly, to strengthen Japan's trade machin- ery. to increase productive power and to hasten the early formula- tion of comprehensive economic plans for the "Japan-Manchukuo- China". bloc.

LONDON, Nov. 29 (Reuter)-- Speaking before the Chelsea Conservative Association, Sir Samuel Hoare, Lord Privy Seal, said that in the early days of the war the Nazi Government felt that agreement with the Soviet gave them the balance of power. This had not been the case and, as a result, there had been endless
INWARD ANXIETY These are the important points in Abe's policy, which, however, cannot conceal his inward chagrin and anxiety. War has again broken out in Europe. "As in the case of the last World War. It should have enabled Japan to fish in troubled waters and have left her free to run completely amok In China.
At least Japan should have been able to take advantage of the war
in Europe to develop her industries and commerce. to strengthen her trade machinery and to remedy her economic anaemia and release herself from immediate danger of bankruptcy by squeezing wealth out of the west. Now, however, as a result of China's strong resis-
tance to her aggression, Japan has to devote her entire strength to meet Chinese attacks. Militarily, Japan has been tied down by us.
Meanwhile, the entire productive undertakings of the country have remained at a standstill because her campaigns in China. See- ing such a good opportunity slip by without being able to utilize it. Abe's mortification and his burn- in hope for an early conclusion

LONDON, Nov. 29 (Reuter) In a broadcast on Monday night, Mr. Herbert Morrison. Labour Leader, said that when peace was made a new world freedom must be built,
The Nazi regime was an evil thing, which must dominate or die. If the Nazi regime won, the free rights of man and everything for which man had struggled would be crush- ed under Herr Hitler's gualel- ters.
