Mr. Anthony Eden, the Lord Privy Seal, romarked yesterday that Germany's chief cause for fear lay in the East of Europe, at the entrance to that great and Mr. Edon added that, in growing Empire of Communism, his estimation, the, German apprehen- slon was very much exaggerated. Russia, ho bellaves, and so do many with him, has her hands much too full of her own affairs even to think of aggression. “against a neighbour nation. Germany, how- over, diatrusts the Russian Soviet. Germany has a feeling that France has not forgiven her for the damage done in the last four years of the European war and that the pact with Russia, may be more than an arrangement for the defence of the nations concerned. And since Russia's propagandists have already caused the Reich considerable em- barrassment, since the Communist International is bent upon the dea- truction of its rival "Isms" through: out the world, monarchisms, Fascisms, Nazilsmis, included, even at the cost of war a literal translati-n of the Russian threat' must be an alarming thing to Germany. Now France, first of the great republice, with than a Red tinge to her politica these days, joins Russia in a de- fensive alliance which is calculat- Rd:ed to prevent attack by any Euro- pean power. There is an element In Germany which feels that a pack of this sort will make serious danger. France Russia, protected by this agree- ment, will be enabled to build up -no great a fighting force as to make them Invincible against-the world. And who shall say them nay"

It is conceivable, then, that this Franco-Russian understanding. which Czecho-Slovakia is about to join, may be a source of trouble, rather than a guarantee of ponco. It will possibly gear up the German militarist machine, send Germany's diplomats hunting for protective alliances of a similar nature, or else-and this is the happy alterna- tive it will bring Germany into

Although the recent Hongkong line as a candidate for membership waterfront dispute resulted in a partial and very necessary cleaning-up of a most undesir- able situation, there are aspects of the problem which have so far not yielded to treatment, and which are causing considerable concern, to say nothing of actual hardship. In particular, there are, many respectable British officers and engineers, with good reputations, anxious to find em- ployment but quite unable to do so. If it were merely a case of those men being the victims of a depression which is not of the Colony's own making, there would be less cause for comment
