CURRENT COMMENT ....
The resignation of the Japanese cabinet rejects the divided state of mind which naturally prevails in Japan
Since the Russo-German war broke out the Japanese have been wonder- ing how and why their Foreign Minister, Mr Matsuoka, who went to Berlin to strengthen the
Axis, should have signed A pact on April 13 in Moscow which weakened it, and done it apparently with the full knowledge and approval of Her, who must at that time have already made his plans for the vasion of Russia.
The kaleidoscopic changes in Ger- man polley, to which Japanese states- men have valiantly teled to conform, naturally makes them dizzy. They have not yet got used to the idea of proclaiming undying friendship one day to another nation and then try- ing to destroy it the next. There can be no continuity of polley in Japan no long on this Axls agreement slants, since Gernun polley. on which Japan's is based, is purely op-: portunist.
The question now raised is whether Jupan will go south, not in the sense she intended some months ago, to the Netherland East Indles, but to Indo-China. To that extent, she has contracted her ambitions, but she cannot be sure that such an occupa tion may not provoke the same re- sponse as the more direct attack on the Netherland East Indies. There have been too many occupations of strategic positions with a view to later attack for such an act to be allowed to pass unchallenged, and that may not mean mere verbal pru- lest. It would depend on what view the Allies bald about strategie poul- tions in the Far East--that is whether they thought their own security was threatened by any advance to the south at all.

It is no wonder that Cabinet changes are taking place in Japan. BOMBING POLICY
The Prime Minister's speech in the County Hall of the L.C.C. was deli- vered with the usual vigour and in- cisiveness, but it was not so much what he said as the munner in which his statements were received by the assembled Councillors that left a very deep impression. Especially was this the

Hitler, armed with his pact of pun-aggression, which merely meant that he promised peace in order that he might begin the war with advan- tage, invaded Russia without any preliminary announcement. Russia is merely the latest victim of the broken treaty.
Hitler goes East in order that he might have granaries, oil wells and a reserve of manpower, to function as slaves, but his main ambition is to destroy the British Empire and rule the world.
