GERMANY AND JAPAŃ

The one justifiable conclusion to be drawn from the agreement reached between Germany and Japan is that it is definitely di rected against Russia. Both Governments may wish it to he interpreted as nothing more than a, defensive alliance and part of a larger scheme aimed at consolidation of

the anti-Com-

munist bloc, but it is reasonable to assume that the understand- ing has military as well as poli- tical implications. Germany and Japan have in common a hatred of Russia and a desiré for external expansion-factors which may make the present agreement expedient, but which may not suffice to keep them linked together indefinitely. How far either Germany's or Japan's fear of Communistic infiltration is soundly based is open to question. To the out- side observer, the thought sug- gests itself that the autocratic powers of the Governments of bath countries would suffice to

prevent Red doctrines spreading internally to a point involving

real danger to the State. It is to be conceded that Russin hus a penchant for worldwide pro- paganda and that it is quite natural that nations wishing to be saved from the spread of Bubversive ideas should be on the alert against possible infec-| tion by Red doctrines. But we have to go further below the surface to And_the_real reason】 for the Germano-Japanese ac-1 cord. There is no evidence at the moment that Russia is bent on aggression, but there, is, an the Times does well to point out, something more than mere self- defence in the Japanese-inspired activities along the Mongolian border. In other words, there is present in this naw under- standing the danger of pro- ducing conditions which may well lead to a clash of arms. That is its worst aspect. In this connection, sight must not be lost of the possibility that an outbreak of war in the East might not end there. The new development comes at a time when suspicion and distrust are almost universal, and, in these circumstances, the alignment.of two military minded nationa cannot but tend to increase existing tension. Happily, there no prospect of Britain becoming involved in the new situation created, since British
