CHURCH AND POLITICS
The part played by some English Churchmen in recent Political controversies bus aroused yet another controversy. To what extent, it is being asked, should the clergy intervene in matters of public, and particularly inter- national, policy? How far were they wise in their intervention in Controversy over the Italian- Abyssinian Mar? Is it their business to encourage or dis-' courage recruiting for the armed forces? On one of these questions Mr. Duff Cooper has expressed himself forcefully in recent

JAPAN LOOKS TO FUTURE
Talk Of Alliance With Britain

The outlook for Japan's, 107- eign trade is far from bright. Manchukuo provides no haven for the surplus population. Russia is viewed with growing apprehen- sion. Even if an armed conflict is avoided the idealogical and econo-
