"The best that a prophet can cay lo that the future picture of Europe will depend entirely on our own actions during the next few weeks and months,” he stated.

"We shall save ourselves, we shall save what we believe in, and we shall attract friends to our side by our own efforts and by the determination with which we face dangers ahead."

He said that besides difficulties in holding down subject peoples, the Germans would have to face the old major rivalries between the Powers.

NO PROGRESS MADE IN SETTLING U.S.-JAPAN PROBLEMS

A JAPANESE protest against the Amer- ican gasoline embargo, which alleged anti- Japanese discrimination and unfairness, was lodged in Washington four or five weeks ago, and Mr. Sumner Welles, U.S. Under-Secretary of State, replied to Mr. Horinouchi, Japanese Ambassador in Washington, about a week later.

The Japanese Foreign Office spokesman, Mr. Suma, pointed this out at a press confer- ence in Tokyo to-day when he denied a press report that Mr. Horinouchi on September 13 had filed a protest with Mr. Sumner Welles against the American gasoline embargo and that Mr. Welles had rejected the request.

The spokesman declined to divulge the nature or contents of the American reply.
