This is the latest indication that Japan, for all her pledges of non-involvement in the European war, intends to take advantage of Allied preoccupations to spread her influence to parts of Asia other than her immediate field of operations in China.

10" I WALKED

By EDWARD G. GAYLER, "Sunday Dispatch"

Finance News Editor

MY job often takes me to

Government offices in and around Whitehall, but I cannot claim to be so well known as to gain easy entry to such high places.

I am accustomed to following the usual routine adopted with callers, and either have a fixed appointment or send in my card in the usual way.

The other day I'went to the Treasury to collect the National Revenue Returns and to seek infor- mation about the sale of the new War Bonda. It was my first visit since the regulations against Fifth Columnists were tightened up, and I quite expected to have to show my identily card and other papers to prove my bona fides.

ON the contrary, despite a chalk- ed notice at the door saying "All Passes To Be Shown," I just walked up the steps, tald one of the porters that I had come for the Treasury Returns, and went straight in.

The porters did not know me, and I did not know thêm. I went to the room where I know the Returne would be handed out, and did not sce a single person on the way, I could have wandered about the building at will.

When I got the Returns, I was told that I had to inquire. at No. 10, Downing-street about the Bonds.

HOWEVER, I left the Treasury, walked 50 yards down Whitehall, and furried Into Downing-street.

AUSTRALIA

Although Australia is perhaps not directly includ- ed in Japan's claims to the South Seas it a long boon feared that Japan looks to Australia for a profitable field of expansion, and any extension of the Japanese Empire would be a menace to this continent.

Although France has been defeated in Europe, the "terms of "the armistice left- the French Eastern Empire intact. But Indo-China is now cut off from help from Europe and must rely for support either on America or Great Britain.

clear. What remains to be seen is whether concerted action can be taken against the Japanese claims or whether once more "appeasement” will be tried to stave off difficulties. The situation is reminiscent of Europe from 1936 to 1938-but with this difference: Japan has laid all her cards on the table. She has stated her ambitions en bloc and at one time-not piecemeal, with false pro- mises of "no more territorial ambitions" in Asia.

No more trade with

France

ALL trade between

Great Britain and France has been stopped by Government order. What does that mean to us-and to France?

In the last normal trade year, 1038, we imported French_goods worth £23,838,000, and sold France nearly as much.

There was this striking differ- ence, however, in the character of of the trades. What we bought were molaly luxury goods, which we should learn to do without now, anyway; what France bought of us were mainly essentials of every- day life.

Coal, for instance. That was our biggest item of export to France, 0.155,000 tons of it in 1938, worth

0,340,000. South Wales will be sorely hit by the loss of this trade,

Other big single items were; machinery, £1,427,000; vehicles, £500,000; Woollen goods, £579,- 000; chemicals, dyes, etc., £735,000 -all things that France will find it very hard to do without and dificult just now to get from Germany.

On the other hand, we shall miss, but can do without, the 1,888,000 gallons of wine (valué £1,406,999), and the 507,000 gallons of brandy (£950,000) the French sold us in single year. In the figures above, by the way, champagne alone accounted for 438,000 gallons (2910,000).

£1,000,000 worth of fresh fruit sind vegetables we had from France can be grown in our own gardeņa,

Women will have to do without Paris fashions (France used to send, us about £700,000 worth of wear- ing apparel a year), hats, cosmetics, scenis, lingerie, pure silk stockings, and cut flowers-all of them big items in the trade returns,

The taste of Camembert and Brie cheeses, of crystallised frulis; and many other good things to cat we shall also miss until the war is ¡over.
