The Political and military developments of the past fow weeks in the Pacific serve only to illustrate and re-state the hopeless muddle into which Japan has placed herself. She has made herself practically friendless, choosing to lean towards Nazi Germany who has demonstrated only too often that she makes pacts solely for her own gains, and that should the occasion over arise, she will not hesitate to put Japan against the wall. Japan's military com- mitments in China and else where are now causing her grave concern and her vital war resources are being tapped to a disturbing extent. These are factors which normally would give any nation pauso to think;: but Japan is in a political as well. as a military morass, and op- portunistic action is likely to continue to remain the creed of herleaders creed which finally must bring for the nation unhappy results
