The United States of America now rapidly retreating into Splendid Isolation.

Just how splendid isolation can be only Lord Beaverbrook (lone- ly as a cloud that floats on high o'er hill and dale) can tell you.
sore
But the position is now, that she is determined to keep clear of the Allies. She is also dead set against Germany, disapproves of Italy, loathes Russia and is still very
against Japan. She will not help the Scandina. vlan countries If and when you. know-what occurs, and she la markedly reserved and frigid in her dealings with those Latin American States that have totall. tarian leanings.
The United States has only one dear friend-America.
It looks a beautiful friendship, but can it last?—Cassandra, In the "Dally Mirror",

By
tacit agreement among the various national groups, the present ratio of seats on the Council-Ave Bri- and Ave Chinese-has stood for years, tish, two American, two Japanese
but it is being threatened by the decl- sion of the Japanese to put up U third candidate.
If a third Japanese is elected, it will be at the expense of the British or American representation, as the number of Chinese on the Council is fixed by an agreement between the Chinese Government and the foreign Powers with interests in the Settle- ment.
HERDED TO THE POLLS
Election day this year has been fixed for April 10 and 11, and if the Japanese plans are not changed be. |fore then Shanghal will see a heated
election battle.
The Japanese candidates, whether two or three, will have the solid back- ing of some 30,000 rate-paying Ja- panese voters living in various parts of the Settlement, mostly in Hongkew, which is at present under Japanese occupation.
In previous years, Japanese voters have always been herded to the polls on election day in the fashion which New York's Tammany Hall ballot used to adopt to swamp the boxes, and this method is expected to be repeated this year.--Reuter.
