It is eminently worth keeping that fact mind when we weigh up the present situation, and being very much on the look out for a double-cross.
We have heard a great deal lately of the Axis plans for a "pincer" movement and it has been rather taken for granted that the Nazis' part in it would be a drive through Turkey and Syria to Egypt, to break Britain's control of the Mediter- ranean, and at the same time to dent our prestige among the coloured races a heavy blow.

Japan's self-sufficiency in foodstuffs has been impaired by growing lack of labour, fertili- sers, fuel and machinery,, con- tinues the service. Output of rice; the most important food staple, has declined every year since the outbreak of the China incident, from 19,000,000 tons in 1937-38 to 17,100,000 tons in 1939-40. The 1940-41 crop is expected to fall short of last year's by more than eight per cent.
The composite Japanese in- dex of mining and manufactur- ing production for the first five months of 1940 (all that are available) has consistently lagged behind the corresponding Agures of last year.
Increase in Labour Force
Japan's industrial labour force has swelled $2 per cent since the outbreak of the China incident in July, 1937. In Rome of the defence industries the Increase has been much larger: 131 per cent in the ma- chinery and tool industry, 79 per cent in the vehicle, air- craft, and shipbuilding indus- try, and 55 per cent in the metal industry. The Govern- ment figures also reveal the strange fact that workmen in these supposedly high-geared defence industries work less man-hours a month now than they did three years ago, prò-. bably because there is not enough raw material, fuel, and electric power to keep the pro- ductive machinery going at full blast.
