and trade polices of pre-war times and pass over to the territorial policy of the future. If we speak to-day of new soll we can but think irst of Russin and her subject border states." (p. 742).
But this apparently was to be the main task of the German army. It was not intended that France and; Britain should be attacked and then Bussa. All forces were to be con- centrated on the Russian border, and lebensraum was to be found in the Ukraine. Further, it was expected that this would be done with great goodwill of the rest of Europe, hot with a Europe embittered, hoste and ready to sabotage any German attempt at further aggression.

The Influence, then, of the Japanese soldiers on Japanese pout.cs must be diminishing, seeing that in four years and
more they have not conquered the armies of Chiang Kai-shek, which they cudly proclaimed could be conquered, at a liberal estimate, in six months. Then the failure of the Germans, whom they worship and obey, to repeat the blitzkrieg of France in Russto must also make them pause and think.

The Japanese, however, must all along have wondered whether a Ger- man victory over Russla might not be a more serious matter for them than a German defent. The foreign policy of a nation does not change. Tringtao, the Marianne Islands and the Carot nes once belonged to Ger- many. They are now controlled by Japan. That,
however, might be re- garded as a treasonable
thought on the part of an Axis portner.

There are those who think that the

PROVOCATION
It has long been recognised that Germany would provoke the United States to wer just exactly when it sulted lier to do so. The problem has been to persuade Japan to play her port and embrace the faith that to die for Germany is the highest of honours and its own reward. Japan has, however, not been able Bee it that way. Greece was at war with the Axis, but Japan excused herself on the ground that Greece was not the aggressor, Russia is at wat with Germany, but Matsuoka says he has, with, the approval of
