UNITED STATES AND BRITAIN OUSTED BY SKILFUL DIPLOMACY

By HENRY WOOD,

San Francisco, May 1.

Germany is rapidly regaining the trade and economic supro- macy in China, Japan and the Far East, which she lost during the world war, according to a survey by the Instituto of Pacific Rela- tions.

By adroitly dropping the mailed-fist tactics that she employed before the war and Inaugurating an era of skilfuli and friendly negotiations, the survey finds that Nazi Germany is re- establishing her trade relations in the Far East and entrenching herself there economically on a sound and probably permanent basis,

The two countries most calculated to suffer from Nazi Germany's new polley in China and Japan, according to the survey, are the United States and Great Britain. There is every Indlestion that Germany will succeed in wresting away a sizeable portion of British and American trade in the Orient.

The theory that Germany is the matural political friend and economic ally of the nations of Asia which are rising to industrial Independence is being developed and applied to the extreme degree by the latter, the institute finds.

The institute has established that German policy in the Far East has changed to such an extent from that before the war that the Third Reich has now. become more and more careful to avoid giving offence to the National feelings of the various countries concerned,··

The error appears on page 57 of cheap edition, but not in the more expensive editions,
