• as tto pan signed by Gormauy, Italy and Japan
It ia a bit surprising, but far less so than it would
have been if signed s year sg<> Germany and Italy
might, under certain conditions, gam something from
the arrangement, but it is difficult to see what
Japan can hope to gam Germany and Italy give
Japan a free hand in establishing a new order in
tto Far East, but Germany and Italy are not tn
position to interfere with Japan In tto Far East
anyway Certainly they will not be able to supply
tor with tto oil and iron which she has been getting
from tto United States, and she certainly needs
these item* if her war machine is to continue to
function.
The part is obvious!* aimed at tto United Antes
Russia and the United States are the only great
powers not now at erar, and Russia ts specifically
eliminated by the pact itaelf Therefore it is simply
an Axis-Japanese warning to the United States to
stay out of European and Asiatic affairs America s
answer has been in tto making for some time That
the state department has expected such a move for
some time, is indicated by Mr Hull's statement that
the pact simply brings the condition into the open
American rearmament is moving forward about as
rapidly aa could be expected, and the United States
has declared that she will continue to aid Britain and
China A more effective answer is found in the
President's order restricting tto shipment ot oil
and iron to Japan We have supplied the Japanese
army with these essentials for yeaia, and now they
must search for them si sew to re
Some Americas expert* are expecting a German
drive through tto Balkan* The Italians have failed
to get control of tto Mediterranean, and the Italian
drive into Egypt seem* to have been lost in tto
desert At tto same time Germany has failed to in
vade England Something must be done so that
vie tones can be proclaimed to sustain the flagging
enthusiasm of tto German and Italian people Such
a move would also give occupation to tto enormous
(German army, and at tto same time might provide
some damaging blows to tto British Empire Britain
has doubtless considered tto possibility of such a
blow What plana she has made to mart it wilt not
