GO WARILY, CHUNGKINGI

RECOGNITION by the Axis

People

British Live

By George A. Greenwood, F. R.

Nowhere in Europe, per- serve all fights and fortid republications, haps nowhere in the world, are political and social con- ditions more stable than in Great Britain. Major issues may from time to time arise, producing acute controversy, and in Britain, as in other countries, there are wide differences of opinion. Yet there has not even been a hint of crisis that would threaten the nation's security.

Powers and their acquiescent bed partners, Spain, Bulgaria, Rumania, Slovakia and Croatia of the Wang Ching-wei regime, and Chungking's immediate counter measure of withdraw

from Berlin ing her envoys and Rome, may indicate some- thing more than a mere 'diplo- matic manoeuvré. For some time past Chungking-has-not- lucked for voices denunding

solation to Japan whose Great borey has always been her Imme- dinte neighbour in the west; she is tied to a tripartite pact, the terms of which she is probably realising more and more are extremely one- sided, and certainly not to her ad- vantage; while she still has on her hold an interminably long and highly expensive war, producing very little in results. Her position is not an envious one.

1t is generally accepted that Hiler wants Japan to create a diversion in the Far East which will involve Britain and the United States, and The Nazi dictator la probably ex- tremely annoyed in the fallure of Japan to force the issue over the N.EL. Now, it would appear, he has decided to use the soft gloves of TERS persuasion to bring Japan to his bidding, even, possibly hoping that Chim will take such a step as de- claring war on him and his Allies, which might then enable him to insist upon that vital clause in the tripartite pact by which the signa- taries, given certain eventualities, go to each other's ald.

Thus, Chungking would be ad- vised to act warily, or she might take n step which would do more harm than wood to her own cause and that of her friends, Britain and America. Clearly there is some reason behind the

sudden decision of Hitler to ne- cept the Nanking regime; he never gives something for nothing, and Chungiting will be well advised to next move before

Glossary for Nazism

By J. C. Johnstone

HITLER'S one consistency is his distortion of plain terms to auit his own vile purposes. Thus it is that, whether he is address- Ing the Reichstag or publicly explaining why he took the stepa he did to bestow German blessings on the Balkans, or ex- posing the machination of his enemy, he habitually uses language all his own.

No one outside the Axis coun- tries, and only the most gullible minds inside them, could any longer be hypnotised by Hitler's bland pretence that whenever he attacks a neighbour it is he who is the real victim of trea- chery and aggression,

It may, however, be instruc- tive to compile a specimen glos-. sary of Nazi terms habitually used in the attempt to convince the world that black is white, or at any rate a higher shade of grey, Herc it is:
